-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you are using "GC2" style 6 volt golf cart batteries, they are usually rated in "minutes" of 75 amp draw (Mine are 107 minutes). They are rated at 208 AH (if you draw them down over 20 hours....which is unrealistic) and can probably deliver 110 or so AH when used at high amperages.
My S10 pickup truck will regularly draw 300 amps while accelerating from a stop (for short periods of time) and average 75 amps just driving down the level road. They have lasted me 2-3 years at a time with this type of use/abuse on almost a daily basis. So if you never pulled more than 100 ah from them, I think they would "live" for more than 3 years, especially if you were not using them every day.
