[#0000FF]I'm all in favor of light weight. But I am more in favor of having plenty of surplus power behind me if I need it.
I have a concern about the voltage being adequate. I top off my AGM series 27 battery before a trip and start out with a bit in excess of 13 V. After a long day and a lot of motor useage I am down to about 12.2 volts...still showing about 60-70% charge. However, as the voltage drops, so does the output. I can really tell the difference in thrust at the end of a trip vs the beginning.
My concern...some motors simply will not perform when voltage drops below about 11 volts. Have you checked your motor for any such specs?
