Hey, it's all good.
I've played Devils advocate more than once. A 4V battery in the motor vehicle trade is totally unknown to me, this is where my interest lay. Multiple small locations of small batteries may be a plausible design idea, but then the wiring, connections and possibility of failure increase significantly. Even a standard 12V battery is actually a set of 6 X 2V batteries connected in series in a manageable mass with just two poles instead of twelve ....makes sense no? Saves a ton of space and wiring too.

I'm just trying to educate myself on something I've never before come across regarding a motorised vehicle.
