Carts with 8-6v will easily get 50 miles on a charge, while 4-12v usually will be limited to approx 30-35 miles. Assumes all other factors are equal. Range for a bank of batteries is directly related to their total amp/hour rating.

The more batteries you have the "bigger the tank".

True. But as the batteries age, the mileage goes down.
