Most lawn mowers have no battery whatsoever. Push mowers, the most common form of mower, have no need for a battery.
Riding lawnmowers, with electric start, do need these batteries. Years ago the normal starter system for everything ran on 6 VDC (actually 7.2 VDC). The problem with these 6 volt systems is that it takes power to start an engine. Power is measured in watts. A watt is voltage multiplied by current. To obtain a higher level of power using the same current levels, voltage must go up. 12 VDC (actually 13.6) became a standard in the late 50's and early 60's.
High performance engines sometimes goes the next step. Newer planes, as an example, will use a 24 VDC system for starting their engine(s).

Can you run your 36 volt golf cart on 5 batteries?
Most 36 volt golf carts are designed to run on a specific number of batteries, usually six 6-volt batteries or three 12-volt batteries. Running a 36 volt system on fewer batteries, such as 5, may result in insufficient power and could potentially damage the cart's electrical system. It's recommended to use the correct number and type of batteries as specified by the manufacturer for optimal performance and safety.
