Edd: Paws had 6 volts when I purchased her. I replaced them with 12v this past winter. I never really saw any great benefit to using 6v (wire two in series to get 12v). The number you require is dictated by size and capacity desired (like any other bank) but always in groups of 2. They are somewhat smaller and easier to handle but not much so. Franky, unless you have a very odd shaped area for battery storage (6v are ofter taller) I don’t see any point to it. Just too many good 12v options that are readily available.
Just an opinion.
