Howdy,
I have a 2006 Jayco Jayflight 31 BHS. It is currently equipped with 2 12 volt deep cycle batteries. They are pretty much spent ( dealer gave me wrong info on how to disconnect ) and I want to replace them before my next dry camping run. I just read somewhere that it is better to run 2 6-volt batteries in series than the 2 12-volts in parallel. With the 12 volts I was planning on installing a switch so I could disconnect both, use one or the other or use both. I figures I could run off one battery until it was depleted and then switch over knowing I was halfway done, kind of like my dual propane tanks. But it would be a lot simpler to run 2 6-volts with a single cut-off switch, although giving up the "backup" battery.
Any thoughts ???
Thanks,
Dan Walker
