I'm contemplating switching from 2 12v to 2 6v but I don't understand why the 6v have an advantage. Can someone enlighten me?

Also, am I correct that the 6v need to be wired in series...seems like that must be how you get 12v out of 6v batteries, but again, what is the advantage of the 6v? I had the 12v connected parallel.

Thanks!

It's been discussed here so you could do a search and find more than a few threads.

My take: 6V Golf cart batteries are superior to the usual 12V marine deep cycle hybrid because of heavier construction and the application of a true deep cycle in an RV. They do stand a bit of abuse, more so than a typical 12 V, other than the true 12 V deep cycle batteries like Trojan and their counterparts. Price per AH is also somewhat better than 12V.
