this battery is extremely expensive
you can get much cheaper ones or much larger one for that price
the relay, the coil operates on 6V
the contacts have to support the load current
if you close the contacts into a short circuit yes it will burn out
depending on the load, it may be wise tu use a fuse maybe 0.5A or less to protect the relay contacts
