Unfortunately, that is almost impossible to answer. Number one is the condition of said leaf pack, how many ah are truly left in there, and how far you are going to charge and discharge. The weight, rolling resistance of your setup, and terrain will have a huge impact on distance traveled as well. I have 15 modules in a 1000 lb cart, 20” turf tires aired down a bit for rough terrain, and it’s generally loaded or pulling a trailer. It eats the snot out of my pack. But my modules only have about 40 ah left in them, I only charge to 4.1v and discharge to about 3.8v, and I’m still a crappy resistor cart. I pretty much have to floor it everywhere because the next notch down barely gets me rolling. My opinion is to go ahead and get 10 because you may well end up wanting more than 5. Or get 14 and go 48v.
