So, if you had 6 - 6v, 10amp batteries you would need to replace it with 3, 12v 20amp batteries. Since you are not increasing the voltage you don't need to add amps to maintain the life of a charge (when you increase voltage to a given system you also increase its amp draw). If you were to actually decrease the voltage your amp draw would go down (not saying you should).

comprende?
NO comprende at all

volts times amps = watts [with volts = pressure, amps flow,
and watts = work done

so if you increase volts you need LESS AMPS NOT MORE to do the same work
and less volts needs MORE AMPS to do the same work

the V x A = W must stay in balance


I would buy 3 truck sized D8 battery if you want the range to be = to the 6 6volt
but they are huge heavy and costly
but cheap vs ni-cad or Li battery
