Solar panel with 6v batteries?
My 5th wheel has a 90 watt solar panel on it with a PVCM25D controller. The two 12v Interstate batteries that are in it have died after 5 years and I need to replace them. I'm thinking about doing two...

ONe of the differences between an electronics technician and many others is how we see batteries.
YOu have now: One 12 volt battery made up of two pieces in parallel. Without knowing the specifics of the battery I'm guessing about 200 amp horus and about 40-50 usable amp hours.
Your purposed set up is again ONE 12 volt battery. Made up of two parts.
About 220 amp hours and 110 usable
The only major difference is capacity. YOu now have a 12 volt battery and when you convert you will STILL have a 12 volt battery.
Just a little bit bigger.
How I see the word "Battery" A collection of cells arrainged to obtain a specific voltage.
How most see "Battery" A package you can lift and carry..
WHy is a "D-CELL" flashlight not called a "D-Battery" Because it is one cell. you put five of 'em end to end in your Mag-Light or Stream-Light you now have a FIVE CELL battery. I hope this explains the difference.
