LEAD ACID BATTERY

Hi,

I have to design a voltage source ( +/- 18volts, 13A ) using lead acid
batteries. My circuit draw is 700mA and requires plus minus 18 volts to
operate efficiently. I need batteries that can atleast run for 10 to 12
hours before the voltage drops to +/- 17 volts. I am thinking of adding
three 6 volts, 13AH ( rated for 20AH ) batteries in series to produce
+18 volts and adding three 6 volts to generate -18 volts. I choose the
battery ( BP13-6V ), http://www.zbattery.com/zbattery/ub13-6.html.

Can anybody advice me that am I doing the right thing that will these
six batteries last for 10 to 12 hours maintaining +/- 18 volts @
600mA.

Thanks
Regards
John
