The rest of the story is about power. In this case, the best way to
think of it is in watt-hours.
One 75ah, 12v battery is 900 watt-hours.
Two 75ah, 12v batteries is 1800 watt-hours
Three 75ah, 12v batteries is 2700 watt-hours
Four 75ah, 12v batteries is 3600 watt-hours
Now if you connect them in series, you will have one 48v battery (in
concept), with 75ah capacity. It's still 4800 watt-hours.
If you connect them in parallel, you will have one 12v battery with
300ah capacity. It's still 4800 watt-hours.

Does not compute. If he's running four 75ah batteries in series to get
a 48VDC battery, then he gets 75Ah.

Oh you're complicating the question...I think.
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.

Yeah, the Alpha will calculate this, but I need to know how to
calculate Peukerts Number.
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?

*Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] Peukert Number
Peukert's formula, T = C / In (or C = T * In), where C is
theoretical capacity (in amp-hours, equal to actual capacity at
one amp), I is current (in amps), T is time (in hours), and n is
the Peukert number for the battery.

Been reviewing my site capacity/UPS/Batteries.
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?
