I have a domestic battery made up of 12 2v cells laid side to side -
so total length 2.15m x 3.18m wide.

I have trouble visualizing this battery. You say 2.15 meters by 3.16
meters. 72 square feet of battery tops?
Doing the math, the area of the tops of the cells are just over six
square feet each, including whatever free space there is between
cells. Somewhat larger than the ones in an average submarine.
Interesting.
