Another example of why energy content of batteries should be measured and expressed in units of measure that actually represent energy.

When Tesla says a car has 85 kWh of battery capacity, I don't need to know what its voltage or Amp-hour capacity is. It's simpler that way in my opinion.

When Trojan rates a deep-cycle battery at 1.5 kWh, that says a lot about its size to me if comparing to other batteries.

Chance,
You commented about the rigs being 12 volt systems when the suggestion was made about six volt batteries. People that DO install the six volt batteries, I am one of them, wouldn't do it if they didn't work. To make them work they are wired "in series" instead of "parallel" connections. But, good six volt, even good 12 volt deep cycle batteries that will actually last, are not cheap. Case in point, the batteries that came on our not even two year old Axis had to be replaced.
