You did not receive good advice! I let them talk me into 6 8 volt batteries rather than 8 6 volt batteries. I was immediately unhappy with the range and had to replace the standard 8 volts with 6 Trojan Rangers. My range is now excellent and I couldn't be happier. It was a $1,000 mistake that I won't repeat!
As others have noted, it's the total amp hours of your system that matters.
