what is the logic behind this, assuming it is not just a myth?
The Windsun link states that "All Lead-Acid batteries supply about 2.14 volts per cell" so presumably a 12v battery has six cells whereas a 6v battery has only three.
However, within the battery these cells are connected in series, and in the cart each battery is connected in series, so regardless of the configuration you really just have 24 2v cells linked in one long series.

In battery discussions about range, amp hour rating is king or queen depending on who is boss. The higher the amp hour rating the longer the battery can deliver amps. I will poke around for links, but I do remember posting this which I learned somewhere along the line....
