Joe, I started out using two Concord 25AH RGB each weighing 22 lbs for a 
total of over 44 lbs of battery (some joked I could get home by using the 
start to crank the prop {:>)) !   I then transition to two Odyssey PC-680 
17AH batteries each weighing 14 lbs for a total of 28 lbs.  Then after 6 
years of flying with two batteries and never using the second one - except 
to help crank on a cold morning, I removed one of them.  Have now been 
flying for over 4-5 years with one Odyssey 14lbs.  I swap it out every two 
years.

Ed
