Real life is different.
I have 12 6v batteries ready to install.
I've decided against it.
All two six volt batteries are is one big 12 volt battery.
Others will disagree.
If you need to break up the space, the 6 volts allow you to essentially 'split' what would be a large 12v battery, in half.
People like the 6v golf cart batteries because they are deep discharge batteries. You don't deep discharge in your motorhome except by accident.

Thanks. That's what I'm thinking too. If I can build it in 6 I can implement that same technology in a 12. Whether I choose to is a sales and margin question, not a technological one.
If I can stuff 4 12's under there and get more total AH, then that's what I'm most comfortable doing. With 4 12's, you wire them in parallel. What I'd like to know is which battery takes the brunt of discharge. With greater wear, I think rotating the batteries every once in a while would be a smart thing to do. For instance, if the last battery in line takes the brunt of discharge, rotate it to the rear (last one) and keep moving successive batteries forward - each taking a turn at the front.
What say you?
