Will two 6 volts fit?

If we replace our 12 v batteries with 6 volt, will the two 6v fit in the 12 v box?

If you have 2 12 volts in a Box now, just measure the box then Google the batterys you want to use and get the measurements for certain. But yes 2 6volts should fit. I have always gone from 6 volt in a car to 12 volt and they fit the battery tray.

When I switched over to 6v, I had to get new boxes as the 6v batteries were too tall for the 12v boxes.

I assume you know that two six volt batteries will be hooked up in series instead of parallel.

GC2 6v golf cart batteries have the same footprint as Group 24 12v batteries.
But they are taller and need their own specific battery box.
