T-125 (6v) vs T-1275 (12v)
Mex has been explaining the diffs between 12v and 6v deep cycle batts in recent threads, but there are still questions. With two of the 6s (66 lbs) that is 132 lbs for 240AH (20hr- 12a), while tw...

when each BANK is supplying say 25A, for the 6's each is supplying 25A while for the 12's each is supplying 12.5A
Ideally, you get the 50% current split with double 12s. In practice the wire resistance, contact resistance and internal battery resistances tend to be slightly different, so one will provide more than 50% of the current and the other less. Over time, one battery works harder and wears out faster, or at least that's conventional wisdom as I learned it and explains the common preference for double 6s over double 12s.
