EDIT: Especially as 6 GC2s won't work with 24V.
So there could be more Peukert's, battery heating and conversion inefficiencies as well.
I found there's less battery heating and better efficiency. Trying to run air on 12v was scary- lots of heating in all components. 24v was better, but 48 is a piece of cake. The less amps you can deal with the better.
I think as the conversion difference is smaller, the efficiency is better. Although I will add that the idle current for my 4k 48v inverter is much more (although still insignificant) than a 12v unit.
