Beckett, Could you give a ball park qualification of "more run time"? 2x? 1.3x? 1.8x? Looks like multiple sixes might be a good way to go for locations like under the seat.

Two sixes nose to tail( 12v combined, wired just like batt.s in a flashlight), gives you more run time. The 12v gives you a couple of options when it comes to terminal connections: Some folks like the standard top-post, others want top and side posts. Optima makes both flavors in the 12v Yellow top Deep Cycle. It all depends on where you want to mount the batt. And BTW, the 65amp/hr rating of these batt.s is an understatement to say the least. Hope that helped, Beckett |
