2 Camper Batteries 12V or 6V
Ok I have heard this so many times and now I figured I would get more opinions!
I was told by 3 different RV stores/ Shops that putting 2- 6Volt batteries in Series will give me more Amp Hours than 2- 12Volt batteries in Parallel.
They tried explaining to me that if you put them in series the voltage and a.h. will go up and I said I don't think that is how it works for 6volt batteries in Series. When something is in series you get double the Volts but the amp hours stay the same.. I have a good understanding of electronics and how it works.
What is your thoughts and experience about this? Do you have 2 12v or 6v batteries? Is this different because of the deep cycle batteries? I want to get more run time out of my deep cycle batteries.
