Right,
I should have added compared to the capacity of a 12v parallel bank.
Unlike connecting 2 X 12 volt 225 amp batteries in parallel where you'd
get 500 amps (For the bank) at 12 volts, your 6 volt serial bank (also
made-up of 225 amp batteries) provides 225 amps or half the capacity of a
bank made-up with 12v / 225 amp batteries.

Francois — just to clarify:
My Trojan T-105s have a rated capacity of 225 amp-hours at 6 volts; put two
in series, and you get 225 amp-hours at 12 volts. So you’re not really
getting half the capacity; you just can’t double the capacity. Make sense?

Just a quick comment on capacity: Don't forget that when the 6v
batteries are connected in series to get 12v you get 1/2 the stated
Amp capacity as shown on the batteries specs..
The amount of watts they produce is fixed and since the formula is
Volts X Amps = Watts.. If you double the volts you get 1/2 the
amps.. just sayin'
