I have run single G24 12V's, 2 G24 12V's, 2 Lifeline 225AH 6V's, and now 2 Lifeline 300AH 6V's.
I was running 2 G24's in my TT this spring an on a 25-30° night I would barely make it to morning with before dropping below 12.2 static. Now with the Lifelines I can go two nights below freezing and still be around 12.3V.
