Victron Battery settings for golf cart batteries

Maybe it is the cold weather, but I am having a brain freeze. I took a look at the settings of my newly installed Victron battery monitor and it looks like either the guys or the device defaulted to 450ah capacity. My understanding is that the correct number would be 225ah because they are wired in series, therefore the voltage is additive, not the ah. Am I thinking about this correctly?

Sincerely,
 Snowing in Pittsburgh 😁

    Yes, two 6 volts in series voltage is additive to 12 v, no change to available 250 AH capacity.

    Snowed here, too!

    Thanks...you start to question yourself, sometimes!

    My poor hands were getting so cold hooking up...and then I had to add air to my trailer tires. I lived up the the old Finnish adage, "There is no such thing as bad weather, just insufficient clothing."

    Well, coming from someone now sitting in front of a fire with it looking like winter outside again, I would politely disagree.  Let me get out those flannels and fuzzy slippers again!
