I got a bank of forklift 2V cells with the brand Hawker; they are L:15.7" W:7.7" D:2.4", and rated 240Ah at C5.
I also got some 330Ah@C5 cells at roughly L:20" W:7.7" and D:2,4"; Yours had a W:6.25" and a D:5.5", which would make them about twice the size.

So if you connect your cells together to form a 12V battery,(2 banks in parallell with 6 cells in each bank.) 1280Ah is believeable. ;)

you can see my batteries at:

If your cells are like mine, they should be seated in a tight fitting box, to prevent the walls of the cells to flex too much.
