I zoomed in on the battery (CTRL + in both Firefox and MSIE) and it clearly says it is an "Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) on the battery itself.
That is a size not uncommon in those jump start packs (That size would be used in the 1,000 to 2,000 peak amp types if the battery can do it) Not much use in an RV except possibly as a break-a-way battery for those who ALWAYS camp on shore power.. Since shore power is not an always thing (Even if you are plugged in) I have had several occasions where shore power simply vanished all of a sudden... Like when Digger O'Gray sliced the primary (Yes the multi-thousand volt primary) cable feeding the park with his backhoe. (I'll be that was impressive) I like more battery.. and a full gas tank.
