You do realize that when you tie two 6v golf cart batteries together to
produce 12v
you then have 1/2 the original AH capacity @ 12v, your 2X220 produces 220AH
@ 12v
about the same capacity as two large 12v batteries. Golf cart batteries are
the best bargain
of the deep cycle world, I have had a bank of four of them for six years now
and they are
 still good.
