A 12V battery is six cells in series. A 6V battery is three cells in series. A pair of 6V batteries connected in series is exactly the same thing as a 12V battery, but is physically split into two chunks which makes it easier to tote around and fit in the battery tray and so forth.
(Incidentally, they're called "batteries" because they're a series of cells assembled into a unit. A gun battery is a series of guns assembled into a unit; a battery of tests is a series of tests considered as a single unit.)
