Each 6V battery is marked as 20 Amp Hours.
What you are looking at is the Amp Hour discharge rate ! Most GC2 batteries are about 220Ah @ a discharge rate of 20A.
If you discharge a GC at a 20A rate, it will be dead in 11 hours.
220AH is the typical spec for a GC battery. This is determined by drawing 11A from the battery for 20 hours.
Again; 220AHs is the 20hour spec. That is the only possible use of the number 20.
Restated a third way; A 220AH will be fully discharged by discharging at 11A for 20 hours.
