I don't know who made this post:

But the math is not right. Two 6vdc batteries wired in series to produce 12vdc will only have 225ah of capacity. The ah capacity of 6vdc batteries will only double if you wire four of them together in series/parallel.

Yep My Error. Sorry Guys
Still 225 A/H is still 2.5 days, and that running everything 24 hours a day.
