The issue on 6V or 12V AGM batteries was a long time ago and died off without a final resoluion at the time. I didn't push the issue too much back then.
In the discussion, another RV'er I admired had a small well-equipped Winnebago Class C that he had retrofitted with two 6V AGM batteries and I wondered why he had chosen two 6V instead of two 12V.
I believe that AGM batteries use some kind of "mesh" to hold the chemicals in suspension or maybe some kind of "mesh" instead of plates? Probably "room at the bottom of the plates" or "plate thickness" considerations do not apply when comparing deep cycle 6V AGM to deep cycle 12V AGM ... although good old weight-of-the-lead still applies regardless of how the lead is configured in an AGM battery.
