And I've never seen a spate of 6V GC batteries going bad on any RV board I've been on. In fact, I can't remember one person reporting the sudden death of a GC battery. I'm sure folks would have written about it if they had suffered a quick death of one GC battery. I've heard of them slowly going bad after years of use.
All I've ever seen are "what ifs" or theoretical situations being posted about.

I always looked at it this way. If I was out in the middle of nowhere with 2-6 volt batteries in series, and 1 went bad I would be dead in the water. Where if I had 2-12 volt in parallel and one died I would just unhook it, I would have only half as amp hour, but I would still have some power.
