Thanks! I knew something didn’t seem quite right, but when I did a cursory check with Google it said that it wouldn’t last as long. I’m guessing it was assuming you’re pulling the maximum power output.
I felt crazy for a second, but you both have it backwards. Running 2 batteries in series means doubling power, (12 v + 12v = 24v power) but same amp/hour as a single 12v. running the same 2 batteries in parallel means 12v of power, but double the amp/hr.
