With a pair of 66 Amp Hour OPtimas you have 66 Amp Hours of usable power,, Assuming they are the proper color.. LESS if they are not (NO sorry color blind here)
With a pair of GC-2 Flooded wet cells (Six Volt Golf Car batteries) In series you have over 100 amp hours. (220 amp hours total give or take 10 amp hours and divide by two for usable amp hours) and if you get 'em at Sams you will spend LESS than 100 on each of 'em. Quite a bit less.
Just remember when you top 'em off.. DISTILLED water please.
