YOu know I get this every time I say there are not 6 volt batteries in RV's
But I know what a battery is.. You clearly do not
"A battery is a collection of cells to produce a voltage"
One lead acid cell is about 2.1 volts
Thus 3 cells in series = 6.3 volts and 6 cells in series = 12.6 Volts.
The fact it's split into two packages.. That simply makes it easier to handle.
If you like it's a 12 volt battery system.
You could use half a dozen stand alone cells (And yes I've seen that done. though h not in RV service)
