A lot of 6V vs 12V theorizing revolves around the failure of one 6V in a series connected pair. If one 6V failed so that it would not provide power to the 12V circuit, an owner would be out of luck. I think the apprehension is caused by owners of 12V batteries that have seen their batteries fail and assume a 6V jar would do the same. At one time, as a golf course mechanic, I serviced 360+ 6V batteries in golf carts. Even with the most terrible misuse and bad charging routines, I never saw one battery fail so that an individual cell did not pass any power within the battery.
