The amp hours for the golf cart batteries (210-230) is that per battery? Or is that for the 2 connected together? Or is it the same no matter what?
Technically the answer to your question is YES.
It is the amp hour capacity of each battery
It is also the amp hour capacity of the two in series.
Since these are six volt batteries, you must use them in pairs, wired in series, and when you wire batteries in series you add the VOLTAGE so Six plus Six = 12 volts
But the amp hours do not change. They remain 210-230 depending on the specific battery.
When you hook them up they become, effectively one 12 volt battery. Treat them as such.
Also, I know many who go on and on how batteries need to be identical, Same Age, Type, Size, Make and model and so on.
This applies 100% to the two batteries in the six volt pair.
BUT, if you run 2 or more pairs, it applies on a pair by pair basis.
You can also parallel a single 12 volt battery with a pair of sixes.
