BAE batteries?

So I found some new BAE 6v 10 ogi 250-N6 la for a pretty good price. They do not list rv`s as a use....but thoughts?
I was getting ready to get some Duracell 6v`s from Sam's but then ran across the BAE`s. He only wants like $150 each for them.
Website for the batteries are https://www.baebatteriesusa.com
Its says DOD could be up to 80%
Thanks in advance for any input!

    Two things I'd be concerned about are both the same. Putting them in

    1 Is lifting, as someone pointed out the higher capacity batteries are HEAVY (But then they always are) and will they fit in the space provided (Size)

    Beyond that I see nothing to scare me off.

    I will be honest and say I'm not sure on the weight. I have weighed the truck but not the trailer. I never travel with full tanks.....so I would imagine I would be ok with the weight. But not 100% sure.

    So are the Telco AGM batteries, that many of us (including me) are fond of, an RV is not a Jeep going off road, or a jet ski bouncing on the waves
    I like the amp hours and the price

    But two of those are going to total 296#
    Do you have that extra cargo capacity
    I carried more than that in batteries when i had the Safari DP
    But not now in the Bounder Gasser

    They are STATIONARY batteries. Not designed for vehicle use. I'd be dubious how they might hold up in a mobile environment.

    I think if I were so inclined to switch to a 6V setup, I'd go with the Sam's Club Duracells. IMO.

    They look a little on the heavy side - 148lbs filled? Each?
