Let's say you're building out a trailer because you're a traveling auto body mechanic and need to use welders and grinders that are high wattage. It makes more sense to take 4 12v 120Ah lead acid batteries and connect them in series to get 48v 120ah than it does to connect them in parallel and get 12v 480Ah.
Strictly beacuse you need the lower amperage drain on the batteries so they have a longer duty cycle.
Alternatively if you're building a trailer because you're a traveling nomad using small loads it makes more sense to have a 12v 480ah battery than a 48v 120ah battery.

Seemingly, since even lower draw electronic devices can function on a higher voltage system, why does anyone put up with a low volt system at all? What is the benefit?
