6 volt versus 12 volt HELP
I have 2005 keystone TT I currently have 2 12 volt batteries that are shot. I have enough space for 3 batteries. About half our camping is boondocking. Am I better off replacing with 2 6 volt batter...

Per Deka's pdf, A pair of 31M is 210AH and a pair of GC2 is 190AH. The 31M gives more AH.
However, the GC2 has less CCA which may indicate thicker plates and possibly deeper discharge with the possibility of more cycles. Tradeoffs?
Either pair's run time would exceed the wet GC2 pair for inverter use due to holding Volts better.

Great link!
AGM's mats/plates are compressed. There is shedding, but it is trapped. A wet drops shedding and there is a reservoir under the plates to collect it. Both extend the life of the battery.
