Switching to 12v batteries.

Pros- minor reduced battery cost (some times no difference in cost), slight weight reduction.

Cons- everything else- reduced battery overall lifespan, reduced range per charge. 12v (t-1275) batteries won't easily fit in your current battery tray.

I would say "never do that" about the swap you are considering. I do swaps in the opposite direction all the time.
