Car batteries? Why on earth would you use car batteries?
Car batteries are designed with one prime purpose - to provide a heavy current for a short time to start the car engine. After that, the load is taken up, in the main, by the alternator which also recharges the car battery at the same time.
What you need are so-called leisure batteries which are designed to provide power at a much lower rate than required for starting a car but to do so for long periods of time.
