Do you happen to know how these choices compare in cost?

Roughly the same depending on where you source them.
J185H-AC is $306 and a T105 is $162 at The Solar Biz Better pricing can be found for the T105 though their price on the 12V caught my attention.

I don't think I can fit two 6v batteries in my Axis. Has anyone ever tried? It might depend on the placement of the terminals.

Not many choices for the Axis/Vegas battery compartment for sure! I was going to swap out the GC batteries from our previous RV and discovered they were just a bit too tall. Only option I've found is lithium and I'm having a difficult time justifying the expense.
