I imagine this has been discussed a couple times but I haven't seen it/found it.

Would I get more amp-hours by running two 12-volt batteries in parallel or by running one down at a time? I can't think of any reason that running them in parallel would give you more work, but saw it mentioned in another thread so thought I'd ask.

Currently I always have two trolling motor batteries on board anyway if I'm fishing for more than a few hours in good winds. I run one down then swap them out. But if running them simultaneously is actually better, I'll get set up to do that.

Thanks.
