Since the 6V golf cart and 12V AGM batteries are both lead-acid chemistry, they share the same basic operating characteristics. If they are both designed for the same service, say deep cycle versus starting, they have similar construction characteristics. Because the AGMs are "sealed", requiring no special venting, and are similar to car batteries in their shape, they are my choice for RV applications, though.

They are more expensive per AH, but less expensive to install. $175 will get you 12V 100 AH of AGM versus $160 for 12V 220 AH of golf cart at Costco.
