Steve,
If you put two lead/acid batteries in parallel, you will not get battery X 2 for power. You will be lucky if you get X 1.5. I could explain this, but I have so many times and I just don't feel like it right now.

I am sure we would all like to know that explanation if you find the time, since everybody else gets more than twice the AH capacity by twinning their batteries in parallel.
Besides getting 2x the AH, you will be running any load at a lower percentage of the capacity than before with just the one battery, so Mr Peukert gives you a bonus, and you get more than twice by doubling.
