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?

ktmrfs,
no free lunch, and always trade offs. There is no ideal batter bank--but 1000 amp-hour Surette 2 volt cells in series would be a pretty nice bank.
LI won't be useful to me unless they do a chemistry that can be charged at low temperatures. It does exist--but not in large amp-hour capacities.

It is not the capacity so much as the voltage drop. The more cells the lower the voltage drop.
and the thinner the plates and larger number of plates reduces voltage drop as well. But gives up cycle life and DOD capability. No free lunch.
