Just a quick comment on capacity: Don't forget that when the 6v batteries are connected in series to get 12v you get 1/2 the stated Amp capacity as shown on the batteries specs.. The amount of watts they produce is fixed and since the formula is Volts X Amps = Watts.. If you double the

Francois — just to clarify: My Trojan T-105s have a rated capacity of 225 amp-hours at 6 volts; put two in series, and you get 225 amp-hours at 12 volts. So you’re not really getting half the capacity; you just can’t double the capacity. Make sense? Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis
