A group 24 is about 70-75 Amp hours and if that is a MARINE/DEEP CYCLE you can only use about 14-15 of those. Not a lot of battery.
NOW if you have the room a pair of GC-2 (Golf car Flooded wet (usually) Batteires_) Each one has about the same foot print as your Group 24. but they are a bit taller... The two, in series (they are six volt so you need two in series) 220 amnp hours give or take a but and you can use half that's like 8 times the power for about 2x the cost. BIG improvement (They cost about the same as a Group 24)
