If your going with four batteries I would recommend you got with 6 volt deep cycle batteries. You will get greater amp hours with four 6 volts vs 4 12 volts. About 440ah with 6 volt and 260ah with 12 volts. That said when I did this I went with 12 volt deep cycle batteries because my trailer was new and I only had to buy 3 additional 12 volt batteries and when I bought my deep cycle batteries at Costco the 12 volts had a 2 year warranty and the 6 volts only had a 1 year warranty. I don't know if that's still the case or not.
You got some reading to do. 6 volts are wired in series where 12 volts are wired parallel.
So, I would get your batteries at Costco
Some reading to do so you can make a informed decision.

The only problem with all of this is that the batteries are for a golf cart. Four 12 volt batteries equals a 48 volt golf cart. You suggest four 6 volt batteries or 24 volts. The cart will not run very well with half the required volts!
Careful reading of the original post led me to the conclusion the batteries were for a golf cart!
