Two 6 volt batteries have:
two connections from terminals to plate frame
two connections from "00" wire to cable connector
two cable connector to terminal connections
more than one 12 volt battery. All subject to ohmic loss, corrosion and
vibration.
A universal premise in reliability is, the more elements the lower the
reliability.
