The video is simply a demonstration of Peukert's law. As the rate of discharge increases, the battery's available capacity decreases.
Yep, 6v or 12v shouldn't matter as long as they hold the same number of watt-hours at the same rated discharge and are both deep cycle designs (not labeled but actual design).
12 versus 6 matters if both are sped’d at the same discharge rate because a pair of 12’s will be drawing down at half the rate in the same system. The parallel 12’s will get the 10 percent bonus capacity that the series 6’s won’t. That never seems to come up in the “just add the amp hours” 12 versus 6 comparison threads.
Note, I said "watt-hr" not "amp-hr" for just this reason.
I hadn’t noticed, actually. I agree.
