Parallel 12volt, more capacity then AH rating? 2.7 x's more!

Just to throw another wrench in the works. Per my other posts on 12v vs 6 volt I found some vids that seem interesting It seems this guy tested parallel 12 volters. Nothing about voltage drop ...

I installed a 1000w PSW inverter in the front pass through storage compartment so we can still use a couple of 120 vac fans and make coffee & toast the same way we always do.


Good luck running a toaster with 2 12v batteries and an inverter. That inverter is going to shut down for low voltage before the first slice is even a little brown.

Fans, device charging, TV, etc, yes, but resistive appliances like a toaster? Nope.

I would put one of these in your gear:
