I purchased my new Wildwood last month. The contact person that did the paperwork was a "OLDMAN".
In my contract I was to have 2 batteries. What was installed were 2 6v in series. I wanted 2 12v in parallel. Twice the ccp as 2 6v. If one 12v fails you have another. If one six fails you have nothing.
How one assumes 2 6v are equal or better than 2 12v has little knowledge how batteries are rated in series or parallel.
Well, CCP, or, Cold Cranking Power, has nothing to do with amp/hours. If they are starting a diesel pickup, DEFINITELY go with two 12 volt batteries. But, I am starting to believe that 2 6 volts will give you more long term run time for deeper long term draws. I have been a hard sell, and read all of these posts that compare them.
