   When sizing a "battery bank" endeavour to use the highest capacity   
   cells you can get, connected in series, rather than higher voltage   
   batteries connected in parallel - for a 36 volt pack use 6 big 6 volt   
   batteries in series rather than  2 packs of 3 12 volt batteries. The   
   6X6 is ONE BATTERY while the 6x12 volt solution is actually TWO   
   BATTERIES in parallel - with the associated load sharing and   
   interconectivity issues involved.

   I've seen that advice several times and priced it out, finding that 12V   
   100Ah appears to be a sweet spot for price vs performance, in lead-acid and   
   lithium. Perhaps it would be different if I needed more than 50A from the   
   batteries.
