You can spring for a new Class A but putting a matching set of batteries is not feasible?
Well I did not afford my Class A by throwing out perfectly good stuff (Wasting money) and I know for a fact that so long as they are in Parallel not series. batteries need only match on one parameter VOLTAGE. Batteries will work out all the other differences. You can parallel a aaa aaaa c and D battery and they will work it out.
Same with a Group 24 27. 29 31 and a pair of GC2. they will work it out. 100% guaranteed.

I don't know what you're expecting to gain from 2 6v over 2 12v, both being deep cycle. And BTW, 12v RV marine / trolling motor batteries are deep cycle batteries, despite what "know it alls" lead you to believe.
Buy 2 new 12v batteries same as the existing 2, and you will be happy.
You will not notice any difference if you go to 6v, if you discharge to 50%

By the way there is a slight difference between most 12 volt (MARINE/deep cycle) and most 6V (Golf Car/DEEP CYCLE) batteries. the way I type it suggests.
MARINE/deep cycle you can safely use about 25% of the capacity. run 'em down to say 25% SOC and the odds of recovery are... SLim (not none but clearly slim)
DEEP CYCLE you can safely use 50%. Run 'em down to 25% SOC and odds are good they Will Recover (not 100% but way better than the MARINE type).

The T-1275 is a higher capacity battery, rated at 150 Ah where the SCS225 is rated at 130 Ah. The T-1275 is a heavy duty 12V golf cart battery with thicker plates, which means it has a longer cycle life at 50% DOD, 1200 cycles versus 600 cycles for the SCS225.

remeber batteries always go to the weakest battery. heck, just replace them all.
Concur !
Limp along on what you have until you have the funds to do them all.
It's not about funds. I just don't want to wast 2 new 12v batteries.

6's will fit, I am moving my battery bank to the empty storage compartment next to my stairs (where they are located now). I could probably fit 10 batteries in that compartment if I wanted too, but weight would be a problem. I will add a few vents to the compartment to let gasses out.
