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 ...

Though you can get DEEP CYCLE 12 volt if you search hard enough most 12 volt batteries are MARINE/deep cycle these are really starting batteries and shoudl be kept 75-80% full or more. RUn 'em down to 60% and they start "Fast aging"


According to whom? Trojan refers to their Marine / RV Batteries as DEEP CYCLE ... surely you're not suggesting that Trojan doesn't want anyone depleting any of their 12 volt batteries in this series down to just 80%?! :R
