I found this quote copied over many times going over ten years in posts in various threads, but since it appears to be mentioning Trojan batteries, I went there and can’t find it. Doesn’t mean it’s not and I just can’t see it.
Trojan Q&A section doesn't address this, but interestingly enough recommends 24 or 48 Volts for systems using over 100 Watts steady. Makes me wonder since that’s an incredibly low bar to set at 8.5 Amps for 12 Volt systems, and practically no one follows that recommendation even when pulling well over 100 Amps.
Just curious if you saw the original source of that statement.

I’ll see if I can find which one. I copied it from a website years ago when i was doing reaerach on the topic.
But the statement is logical as the 6V batteries are similar in weight as a 12V but only generate half the voltage. It stands to reason as it means the voltage to material weight ratio is higher for the 6V and it in fact should last longer if properly maintained.
