[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1731048, member: 57533"] 2X6 volts = 12 volts, 1x12 volts = 12 volts. Linking 2x6V in series does not mean more power than 12V! They both have 12V of output. Investigate what I have mentioned, [COLOR=#ff0000]the bigger the amp hour[/COLOR] means more stored power, its all about the amp hours! Hence the actual battery size!! A 12V 150ah battery will be around 50% bigger than say a 100ah, both have an output of 12V but the 150ah will last longer. Use this to calculate your usage & how long a battery will last- [URL]https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-calculate-amp-hours-by-watt-usage[/URL] You also need to know what your estimated draw is to work this out.
