The problem is numbers and the way they are expressed
105 ahr at the 20hr rate that's a solid number but it also means 5 amp discharge for 20 hrs
225*23 is a reserve minutes number, 23 amps (not 5 amps) for 225 minutes aka 3 hrs 45 minutes ( not 20 hrs )
Which is less amp hrs total you are using power at almost 5 times the 20hr discharge rate, it's called peurkut effect, the chemical reactions of the battery are less efficient producing the electrical energy
Yes both numbers can be valid for the same battery, because they mean two different things
