I think it's an old wives tale...
All batteries are internally wired in series. A lead acid cell produces 2 volts (roughly), in order to get a higher voltage you need to array cells together in a "battery" so a 6v battery is just 3 2v cells wired in series, two 6v batteries wired in series is 6 2v cells wired in series, just the same as a 12v battery is 6 cells in series. 2 12v batteries paralleled in my mind is the same as one very large battery of 6 cells.
Am I nuts?
