AH's are AH's... I have 3 12 volt 75 AH batts.. The thing is the space constraints..Not really weight
Ill be going to 6 volt soon. This will allow me to eliminate the 3rd battery.
The GC2 6 volts are 64 lbs. x 2 = 128 lbs.
DC 24 series are 42 lbs x 3 = 126 lbs
GC2 are 230 ah's
DC24 are 75 ah x 3 = 225 ah..
Now if you try to get a large 12 volt to match the ah of the 6's your talking space issues.
Group 31's @ 105 ah are big x2 = 210 ah's.. But still 60 lbs x2 = 120 lbs.
So do the math all you want. 2x 6 volt will win everytime IMO.
The other thing is you need a way to charge them properly of they will die a slow death..
