If you needed 500 to 1,000 pounds of lead batteries to store required energy, how would you split it up to make each battery "component" manageable in size and weight?

I think fewer numbers of larger cells is typically considered superior for deep cycle applications. That's one of the advantages of 6-Volt batteries over 12-Volt batteries. Using 2-Volt for larger systems just takes it another step in that direction. Or does it?
