Replacing 12-volt batteries with 6-volt
Have you replaced two 12-volt batteries in parallel with two 6-volt batteries in series to improve ampere hours? Were the results satisfactory? Please elaborate. Was the rewiring difficult?

Hi wa8yxm,
Not necessarily true. The paste is thicker therefore there is greater internal resistance and greater voltage drop.
Most jars are designed for 25 amps draw per cell. Anything over that and voltage drop increases.
Of course it is best to have all cells the same size, but there is no question that a 200 amp-hour bank of 12 volt format will exhibit far less voltage drop than a 200 amp-hour bank f 6 volt jars.

The GC-2 Cells are bigger than say a Group 27.. So less drop.
