The 6V golf cart batts are about 200A/H each, but this is still 200A/H when in series, it is just at 12V instead of 6V which is twice the power (Wattage). Then connecting the 2 pairs of series connected Batts in parallel doubles the A/H giving the ~400. These 6V golf cart Batts are the best dollar value in batteries and the most forgiving of charging errors, just be sure to add water.

John, from Miami - I'm far from an expert, but are you sure that's 430 amp hours with just four 6v batteries? That implies that each battery on its own is 215 ah, then connected to make up two 12v units, if I understand the math on connecting batteries properly, to get 430 ah.
