Battery question
My batteries are reaching the end of their good useful life and I am wondering whether to replace them with two 6 volt rather than two 12 volt ones? Would I have to change my inverter, I have a 2012 J...

GordonThree,
Why do you not like LiFePO4?
The key advantage of LiFePO4 batteries is safety ! I would not want a large bank of LiCo batteries in my vehicle (Boeing made a big mistake with this on the 787). LiCo batteries require much more sophisticated monitoring.

Mostly lower nominal and working voltages
Discharge voltage of 2.5 ... A lot of energy is left on the table unless you can set your low battery cut out down low enough.
Inverter companies need to change their thought process. For a small amount of addition money they could design an inverter that would run of of 6 LiFePO4 cells (15V nominal) and not turn off until <10.0V.
