That C&D Dynasty MR490 is quite the AGM 12 volt battery ... 100 lbs. in about a Group 31 form factor!
I notice that it's recommended float voltage matches a stock Parallax converter's output voltage, too. This would mean no converter/charger change would be required in our Class C.
It never occured to me to use a UPS standby power battery in an RV. I may consider a couple of these, if I can locate them at the right price point and figure out how to lift it down into the battery well. So far I haven't been able to find an amp hour rating for this series of C&D batteries, though.
