There IS a drawback with using smaller sized batteries of any type -
more weight is in the casing to energy ratio.

for example: 10 D size batteries weigh more in casings, wirings, and solder than a single 12v's casing of the same battery type.

So it's not just finding the proper charger and controller, it's also finding a large enough battery to use.
