Are two six volt batteries better than one 12 volt battery? Or, given weight and space considerations, would it be better to go with two 12 volt batteries? We rented a trailer from our local dealer and he had two six volt batteries with a three amp solar panel. He said a six volt would give 40% more power than a 12 volt. We are buying a new 5-th wheel and I was thinking of trading the standard 12 volt towards two six volt batteries ... don't know if the dealer would even want to do that. Just wondered if six volt is the way to go ...
