I think if you wire in series you add the voltage, so it’s 48v right? But the AH stays the same so I would still have 75Ah?

The capacity from one 75ah is simply quadrupled in your case. You have 300ah. When you add another (identical) battery you're adding capacity/runtime linearly.

Or if I’m just running a simple series of four 12v for 48 volts is 1.1 just the default I should use? Do I add up all the four 75ah ratings per battery and use that as the rated battery capacity number at 300ah?

Our Alpha's have a Peukert Number to help identify and tweak capacity in remaining amp hours. Can someone give me the short of this calculation? That is, if I have four 12v batteries run in series that are 75AH each?
