Because with the battery chemistry that the industry otherwise prefer to use, one cell won't provide enough voltage for a sensibly built electrical system. To get the voltage up to somewhere where you can get decent power without having to use ridiculous currents several cells are used in series. Each cell produces aprox 2 volts DC. A 12 volt battery would have 6 cells.
