I have room for 4 batteries. I currently have 2-12s side-by-side that measure 9h x 12L x 6.75w.

Looking around, I can get 4-6s into that space or two more 12s the same size.

Now, you have your 12v deep cycle and your 6v deep cycle. See my dilemma?

All I know is the 2 - 6V AGM I have are far superior to the OEM 12V's mine came with. But perhaps with a good aftermarket 12V battery it it would not be so dramatic.

I researched this whole 6v VS 12v subject for about 3 mo before I purchased mine and im glad I did.

Plus the part about maintenance free, quicker charging, slow discharging and longer life make it worth it to me. They are super heavy duty (73 # each vs like 46# for my OEM) with thick lead plates and more acid?

The main reason I went with Full River was the reviews were good but they fit under my step with ZERO mods. So I have about the most amp hours that I can fit under my steps.

I purchased mine at Battery Outfitters. When I showed up I asked for a disccount and he knocked off 10% without any problem. I think its because they are like $250 each and they had good margins. So $225 each is was not that bad IMO for AGM's.

Im very happy with mine.
