Two 6 volt vs two 12 volt run time
I was just informed that two 6 volt batteries would run the residential refrigerator many times longer than two 12 volt batteries. I wonder if this is just hype?

Where did you get the true deep cycle Grp 31 12V AGM? How many amps did it have? And how much did it cost?
I'd prefer a true deep cycle 12V battery, not to be mistaken for a deep cycle marine battery, over a par of 6V golf cart batteries.
But I have seen any that are cost effective for me yet.

I found that available space and maintenance mattered also. I had limited space for batteries unless I modified the space. By going with one group 31 deep cycle AGM battery, I got just about the same Ah as a pair of 6v wet cell, but it fit without modification and I don't have to deal with checking levels, etc. It has been more than enough power for what I need.
The truth is, which is best is dependent upon your particulars. Like most things in life, one size does NOT fit all. Going with one over the other doesn't make a person smart or dumb, right or wrong. Going with the one that works best for your situation makes you right and smart.
