Okay, so with the the two 12 vdc Interstate batteries that I had (the SRM27's that came with the Arctic Fox) I had 88 ampere/hours. That works out to about 4.4 amps/hour.
With the 2 6vdc batteries in series, it's offering 230 ampere/hours--- HUGE increase! That's 11.5 amps per hour before reaching the recharging point.

I could be wrong but I think you made an error in your comparison between the 6 and 12 volt batteires . The general rule is to not discharge below 50% . Your numbers on the 12v batteries are correct . With the 6v batteries they are 230AH total ( to make 12v ) so you have to take 50% for the usable AH's which is 115 AH divided by 20 = 5.75 AH . Still a gain but not quit 11.5 AH .
