Golf cart batterys
This spring I'm upgrading to 6 volt golf cart battery's. My question is , do I need to upgrade the charging system of the camper ? The rv is a 2013 Palomino B-800. Any input ?

I have two 6v GC's and are long lasting with plenty of reserve...One thing that has yet to be mentioned is that when you connect two 6v's 'in series' (to now produce one large 12v battery), understand that when the voltage doubles (now to 12v) the total amp/hr capacity is thereby cut in half, thus two 220 amp/hr batts 'in series' = 220 amp/hrs total at 12v, not 440.

I hate to jump ahead when reading a thread, but this is FALSE.
1 6volt GC2 = 6 volts @ 220 ampere hours.
2 6 volt GC2's, in series, = 12 volts at 220 ampere hours
I think 3tons threw off JimM68 with the above in red. So if one at 6v has 220aH, two in series at 12v is 220+220=440, then cut in half so you wind up at 220. Long way around the block but you wind up in the same place LOL.
