Default Re: 6V or 8V batteries

Eight 6 volt batteries will give the longest run time because there is more lead
And they are easier to get 12v power from any pair.( a common practice although not as sound as a power converter)
Eight 6 volt batteries take up more space and require batteries to be mounted in the bagwell with extra long cables and additional hold downs.
Eight 6 volt batteries weight about 150 pounds more.
You can use a 36v and a 12v charger together to charge

Six eights fit in the battery compartment.
Standard battery cables fit.
You will need a power converter for 12v accessories.
Six 8 volts will need a 48v charger.
Six 8 volt batteries is a very clean and simple way to go 48v


Hope this Helps!
