Your the man I really want to be talking to! Thank you very much!
I posted on your thread for daily or duty cycle numbers. Also what are your daily numbers totaling? You are using very close to the same items as I will be.

It would be more useful if you instead measured the power usage in watts or watt-hours, because that is what is actually being used; watts, not amps. For example. 1 amp at 12 volts is 12 watts. 1 amp at 120 volts is 120 watts. Huge difference. Watts are what matters.

The answer to this is how you actually will use them.
6v batts will always have greater Ah. Think about the size of each and what the cells inside are. Also the 6v batts are meant purely for deep use. 50% draw on 6v as to only 70% draw on 12v. If your only going to use them occasionally, the 12v batts are cheaper to replace when you kill them. Which happens quickly when not used. Personally, and only my use and research, I find 12v batts have that good old 'cranking' listing which means the Deep cycle is a reserve. The 6v batts are not 'cranking' listed and are only meant for long slow draws. There also ways to push the 6v batts into a better Ah when charged in a particular manner. Did you make a mistake? I doubt it.. Could you have done better? Depends on how you plan to use them.. Cost wise balances out if you can buy 6v at a good dollar. Saw some Interstate 6's on sale for $20 (the pair) more than my 1 type 27.. 3 times the Ah with the 6's! $20 more, ya no brainer for me! It's all in the use.. IMHO |

I have a question about batteries. pros and cons of 2-6v (series) or 2-12v (parallel) ? I took my original 12v deep out of my R172, and replaced with 2 sears Deep 12v. Did I mess up when I go out for my first Boonie trip? Thanks also in advance. I really would like to see your numbers when done. Love my coffee too, ( I didn't smash my Keurig maker) LOL.

Yes, no TV or Radio listed. Laptop is our choice of entertainment or cell phones with mp3's through my portable BT speaker.
