Hello Zacc,

yes, they'll give you 20Ah when wired in parallel (positive to positive, negative to negative).

Best regards, Peter

Hi Zacc,

It is important to follow Peter's method of connecting the batteries. If you connect them in series you will end up with a 24V 10amp battery bank.

Cheers, Trevor.
