12v vs 6v battery question
I've got to replace my 2 batteries on my TT. We typically camp with power so we don't boondock. We do have a residential fridge, with an inverter, and the batteries to get a little charge from the ...

The difference in internal resistance between 2 6V in series and 2 12V in parallel is negligible assuming the overall capacity is the same.
It's as easy test to do. Take both types and put a constant load on them and measure what the voltage drops from a fully charged battery.
Therefore, not a reason to choose 12V over 6V batteries.
Prove it ... as I can clearly prove otherwise. ;)
As this article clearly proves 12 volt jug internal resistance IS considerable lower and therefore suffer less voltage drop under heavy inverter load than a similarly rated pair of 6 volt jugs. Hard to argue with facts. :Z
