For example, a US Battery US-2200, 59lb has a reserve capacity of 122 min at
75 amps, or about 915wh (15.5 wh/lb). A US 31TMX, 64lb, gives 58 min at 75
amps, or about 870wh (13.6 wh/lb).
These are good numbers if you are discharging the batteries quickly,
like at the 1-hour rate.
Cycle life is typically better for golf car (6v) batteries. As a rule of
thumb, in most lead powered EVs, 6v golf car batteries will give you the
most economical operation.
Most 12v lead-acid batteries have a rated life of around 200 cycles.
Most 6v batteries have a rated life of about 600 cycles.
