Since you were replacing 2-12v batteries with 2-6v batteries, do you feel like the change was worth it? In other words, do you notice a difference in how long the batteries last compared to the 2-12v batteries you had? I'm having a hard time justifying more than double the cost in my mind.

I replaced original's when I started having issues on the road....leaving California jacks & slide not working, batteries were 4 yrs old, crumby connections on box lid, bending down into area to service killing my back. So I decided to just do it right and spend the money as most recommend here. No issues since. The statistics & members here say 2-6v do a better job so I went with what made sense to me. I travel about 250-350 miles a day on average and have no problem. I don't monitor the batteries as some do so I can't tell if this setup is actually performing better than old setup, I just knew I needed to replace old ones and get rid of box so I spent the $. My 2-12v worked ....until they didn't. You'll get by with 2-12v but these boys here can tell you exactly why you'll be better off with 2-6v. They'll be here soon.
