I agree with the OP. When using only 2 batteries, a pair of 12s provide a distinct safety margin over a pair of 6s.
Come to think of it, even a single 12 is better than a single 6!
Now this shows faulty thinking.. First THERE ARE NO SIX VOLT BATTERIES IN RVs.
RVs use 12 volt systems, Now this system is ALWAYS powered via either the converter or via a 12 volt battery.
Since an 4-D battery is kind of heavy and hard to wrangle (230 amp hours at 12 volts) many RV makers and Many RVers choose instead to use two six volt batteries (GC-2) wired in series,, Now if you buy the same DEAKA's I have this gives you 230 amp hours at 12 volts when wired in series.... Where have I seen those figurs before.... Oh yes
Thats a 4-D
Only each HALF of this 2-piece 12 volt battery is about half the weight of that 4-D.. and I might add, Just a couple pounds over my lift off the ground when lying on my back limit. (On a good day I could likely do it)
But I do not have a six volt battery, I have a 2-piece 12 volt battery, in the battery compartment.. I also have more than one.
