Is it possible to use 12 volt batteries for house battery? I never boondock and am looking at cost over longevity.

A GC-2 (Six volt) pair is around 220 Amp Hours and costs about the same as a pair of Group 24's (150 amp hours)

IF you goof and run the G-24s way down the Group XX batteris down they tend not to come back Where as I ran my GC-2s down 4 or 5 times and they came back, Lasting a total of 9 years.

I would stick with GC-2's Unless you go to something like a single Group 31 there is not much savings.. Plus There are other advantages.

I suspect if you graph cost over life.. GC-2's will be lowest cost. I know if you graph Amp Hours/Dollar they are the best but I think years/dollars will work out the same way.
