You need to put a voltmeter on the battery and monitor its voltage under load. If the 12AH battery holds 6V without sagging, then going to a 20AH battery would be no advantage other than run time.

Thank you. Okay, I am understanding amps now. Yes, the lead-acid 6V/4AH seemed to be fully charged, yet I didn't check it under load. I plan to use that battery one with my ACE V with it's single non-A UV.
In your opinion should the RC work with the ARBE III set at 6V's? They say it provides 3.0 continuous amperes, but this confuses me now. If amperes is the amount of time a battery can deliver it's voltage, why does an AC eliminator that provides and endless supply even have an ampere rating? What does this mean?
