Battery question

[sasqman]

So I bought 2 of these interstate 6V golf cart batteries and have them all wired up and running, for the house batteries. I'm just programming my new battery capacity indicator. Will I have 225 amp hours between the 2, or 450 amp hours combined?
Thanks

If you wired them in series for 12 volts output you will have a combined capacity of 225 ah. That's a good system for house needs.

All programmed up.

Just realize that to get decent battery life you should never discharge them past 50% of capacity, so in reality you have 112 amp hour usable.
