Everything posted here is correct except one thing. Finding 6 volt true golf cart batteries for $80 each will be next to impossible.
Using 12 volt batteries will give much greater capacity than using 6 volt batteries.
2- 6 volt batteries in series= double the volts but the amp hours remain the same
2- 12 volt batteries in parallel= double the amp hours but the volts remain the same
Except one other thing. "Using 12 volt batteries will give much greater capacity than using 6 volt batteries."
Two 6's will give you the same capacity with a smaller foot print that two 12's will.
Two (6v) GC-2 (240ah)
Two (12v) BCI-30 240ah)
