Bruce, They are Golf car batteries. 220ah @ 6V Wt. approx. 65 pounds These are not RV batteries. They have removable caps on each cell. Same size and look like a US or Trojan battery.
Next time I'm there, I'' see if there is any other information on the case. The salesman said they sell a ton of them to the golf clubs in the area.
