I look at 6 volt batteries as half a 12 volt battery in a more convenient package. I can lift a 6 volt 235 ah battery with one hand if it has a handle, lifting an 8D battery (12 volt deep cycle 235 ah) takes deep knee bends and a 5 minute warm up before or a chiropractor visit after... :)
Though I can and fairly easily lift and carry an 8-D the way I used to say it is this:
You take two Six Volt Golf car batteries, lug them to your RV and install you get 12 volt at 230 amp hours
you take 230 amp hours in a single package and attempt to lift and carry it to your RV you get..... A hernia.
Same concept as you posted.
Before my wife died I routinely loaded and unloaded a battery operated scooter, roughly 250 pounds.. By hand, no ramp.
