No it doesn't.
4D is generally 200AH, not 250...
AND....only half of that is usable..
AND..... AGMs are on par, price-wise, with LiFePo4.
AND.... 2x 4Ds weigh ~234lbs for 200AH usable..
AND.... 2x Lifepo4 weigh ~48lbs for 200AH usable..
AND...Lifepo4 can recharge quicker..
Who said anything about battleborn? They're overpriced.
Right now, LifePo4 batteries are going for less than $300 for 12V@100AH, 200AH 24VDC rack mounts with all the bells and whistles are going for ~$1200

Get a 24V...
