Great website. I've seen similar tables, but where I stuggle is the load vs no load (aka open circuit) question. When I start the motor, the voltage will drop say from 12.7 to 12.2 yet the bats should be fully charged. It would be nice to know the state of charge while mowing, but seems to be difficult. I think I might just measure the no-load voltage after mowing for a half hour. If it is at say 50% I will use the loaded voltage measurement i had at that half hour time as a cut off.

I have a hydrostic tranmission, so I'm probably pulling more current then you. I went with Interstate SRM-29's. They are very heavy, but two in front and two in back I can't even tell. I think it actually handles better then stock and definatly has better traction!

Thanks,
Ryan
