6V Batteries?

[Jeff Miller]

The reason for the four 6V batteries is amp-hours. More useable amp-
hours in those four deep-cycle 6V batteries than in two 12v batteries.

Many opinions on battery quality, and whether the better/best are
worth the extra money. Leave any of them dead for long enough and
you'll be scrapping them, so IMO unless you use the coach full-time
and will be needing lots of boondocking capability, go with middle-of-
the-road quality flooded-cell GC-6 batteries.

The bigger part of the formula in my experience has been the charger.
A good 3-stage charger such as you'll find in a good inverter/charger
or the Tru-Charge will give you more useable amp-hours and more
battery life by far than the original battery-boilers or any cheaper
charger/converter.
