We get a lot of members of the RV Repair Club community asking what kind of RV batteries they should use on their rig. They’re often unsure whether they should opt for a single 12 volt battery or a pair of 6 volt RV batteries in series (obviously equaling 12 volts). The answer to which is better is a simple one: it depends. Okay, so there are some nuances to the dilemma.

To help you figure out which is best for you, in this lesson Dave Solberg teaches you the difference between a 12-volt battery and a series of 6-volt batteries. He talks about the pros and cons of each, and explains why there’s a clear winner based on the type of travel you typically do. With Dave’s advice, you’ll have no trouble deciding the battery option that works for your needs and budget!
