.. have asked this question before with no answers yet. When a 6 volt battery is bad how will the other 6 volt battery power a 12 volt system?
I think the problem comes when people try to wring every last amp-hour out of them, or don't maintain them properly. That will surely cause one to fail before the other. You're supposed to change them when they start getting weak, not when they fail.
