Connecting 2 batteries together
I have space for 2 batteries where I currently have one. The one I will be adding is identical, except it is about a year older. Am I right, I need to daisy chain them?

There are a lot of myths about paralleling batteries.
For the most part the only thing you need to concern
The Connecting cables need to be large enough (Same as the cable that runs off to who knows where)
And the polarity.
Most everythign else the batteries will work out by themselves
In some very high current installs there is more (Load Balance) But you are into the hundreds of amp loads before that's a concern.
With GC-2's there are additional concerns but since you are not going that route. That is all folks.
Not sure of the myths…but for sure there are some guidelines.
Wondering what the addl concerns might be with 6V batteries though? You said there are concerns?
Aside from having to hook up in series or series-parallel I’m not aware of any “concerns.”
