I can recall only ONE report of a single 6 volt battery failing unexpectedly. It just doesn't happen.

Golf courses the world over can attest to that fact.

and also that you can discharge them well below 50% SOC and still get hundreds and hundreds of cycles out of them.

Personally I know of more people who have had a 12V battery fail on them while camping than 6V (0 on the 6v). Now granted many of the failed 12V were from campers who had no idea of what it takes to maintain a battery and had unintentionally really abused them.
