Multiple battery banks or one big one
I am in the process of installing new house batteries. I have four 6v golf cart batteries in two banks. Is there any real advantage to having two separate banks and using my A/B switch to use them one at a time or have one big bank? The one big bank is easier to charge and maintain but causes an issue if I get a bad battery as I have to replace them all. Comments ?
