Hi R&R,

I know this is late, but I've read the thread because that's what I want to do too. No where did I see that two 6 V were better than two 12 V in parallel. It stated that two 6 Vs were better than one 12V, even though intuitively one would think they were equal. Certainly 2 series pairs of 6 V in parallel with each other would blow away 2 12 V. Happy boondocking.

I am glad I found this site and these discussions. There is no way that I would have believed that two 6 volt batteries would hold their charge longer than two 12 volt batteries. But that is obviously the case.

And wiring them in series is certainly no problem.

When we get our rig totally up and running and we need a new battery I am pretty certain that the six volt golf batteries will be the way we go.

Does anyone have 4 of them, paralleling two sets of 6 volt ones in parallel? Or is there not enough room for that?
