2 12 volt batterys or 2 6 volt
what gives me the most bang for my money. every other rig that I have bought always had 6 volt battery's but the new one has 2 12 volt. not sure what works better.

Hi,
Also known as a surplus acid AGM. That means it can be seriously damaged by discharging too low. I believe they more or less ought to be treated as flooded batteries but carefully charging below the gassing voltage.
I'm using 4 of a slightly different rating to give me 566 amp-hours @ 20 hour rate (6.95 amps per jar). So far they have not objected to any load I've put on them. I will know more in a year. Charging rate is limited to c/5 or about 28 amps per jar.
I see that yours are listed as 145 amp-hours at the 8 hour rate (18 amps)
The 1 hour rate for mine is 95.5 amps. That suggests to me that I could do 4 times that (382 amps) for 15 minutes.

Big Battery, AGM, low dough, big bang for the buck. YMMV, it won't run a big inverter, make electric coffee or run a hair dryer, but if recharged immediately, daily, and treated properly, not neglected, it will last a long, long, long time. Perfect for dry camping, forget it if you are a pedestal queen. This is a battery that likes long, slow distance discharges, forget the surges or blasts of instant high amperage energy discharge that NiMH and Li Ion batteries are so pricey and good at.
