people use golf cart batteries because they are common, cheap and designed for the task of powering a vehicle, $800 for a set for my EV, compared to $5,000-10,000 for lithium, or if you want the same battery with your .25 amp hour 9v battery idea, you would need around 4200 of those little batteries... how much are those batteries again?
