I am re-exploring the use of these batteries. Blue-Meanie uses the same controller as mine. It also has a 9" motor too. (Warp 9 should perform a tiny better.) Blue Meanie uses AGM type batteries and has pretty good performance too.

Although these batteries will not last as long as the fancy LiFePO4 batts, they are much, much cheaper. The price per lifespan appears to be pretty close. The LiFePO4 batts are lighter weight, though.
So, rather than spending $12,000+, I'm now considering the $3,000- battery pack. The pack can be replaced as batt-tech improves and prices come down.
