Mixing different battery construction types, golf cart batteries, with a car battery, with different chemistries and amp hours per battery, is a lot like pairing a Honda Eu2000i to a Honda Eu1000i, to run something with a heavy amp load, like a 13.5k AC.

It can be done, but no one recommends it, and you probably shouldn't do it.
