So, 1 6V battery rated at 210 would give you 210 ah in 12V when you connect 2. If that's all you need then you are good to go. However, if you had 2 12V batteries that each put out 210ah then you would need 4 6V batteries to provide the same number of AH's.
A 12V 210AH battery is going to be ONE BIG Battery. That's 8D size, the size of TWO 12V end to end. Very Very Very few people run the 8D size 12V. and they are heavy. It's hard to find a 12V battery above 100-120AH.
A typical 8D battery is around 225AH, weighs around 140lbs. Most are made as starting batteries, used in class 8 trucks, big off road equipment. 20"Lx10"wx11"H
They might be used in diesel pusher MH for a starting battery.
