6V batteries are typically more 'energy dense' than the 12v counterparts...
Quite common to be able to replace 2 12v parallel batteries with 2 6v series batteries and get increased capacity.
Having to replace originals under 2 years isn't fun... but unfortunately many have to do so... Batteries rarely seem to be properly cared for from point of manufacture to point of delivery - shortening their lives.
