    Put Two of these in, wired in series. Or two of the 12 volt wired in parallel. Just make sure too get a big enough charger, and make sure you have enough height for them. They're taller than a standard deep cycle.
    Look at the amp hours compared to a standard deep cycle.

    Go to a local golf cart store, and price them.
    Ok
    I tried to post a pic but couldn’t,
    Anyway I’m looking at 2 6volt 232 AH batteries wired to give me 12 volts.
    That keeps the AH at 232?
    So my Xi 5 pulls 50 A at max
    I’m looking at 4 hours of time on the water running at full power? ( I don’t run full power by the way, maybe 75%)

    Thanks for clarification

    Ps price is $124. per battery

    No, if you wire the 6 volt in series, to get 12 volt. You will double the amp hours. Which should effectively double the run time.

    Unless you buy a golf cart charger built for 6 volts can't figure how you would plan on charging them. Remember 2 6volts paralleled make 12 which would give you a lot more power but you still have to charge each seperatly at 6 volts.

    Ouch
    I assumed my onboard charger would change them as a 12 volt
