He's told me that using two golf cart batteries wired in series (to end up with 12 volts) is going to give me the most longest power (my wording, not his, hahahah) for my household needs. There is another guy that knows the most there is to know about batteries. Duff. Hopefully he can comment for us here?
so it LOOKS like (and i could be wrong) that those batteries are rated at 232 Ah,
wiring them in series (necessary to supply 12v) only maintains the amp hour rating.

only when batteries are wired in parallel do you increase the Ah.

I suppose if you had another pair you could wire them in series and parallel and double the amp hour rating to 464 and so on.
