15 pounds weight difference with the S1600, lighter but less reserve.
Thinking about removing two 12 volt batteries and alternator for one 16volt and no alternator for weight reduction.

I would not change to a 16 unless it is a weight thing.

I have used the Turbo Start batteries for 9 years. The 1st pair lasted 7 years and I sold them to another racer who is still using them. Do not buy the light weight version of them, not enough reserve. Always shut the switch off when charging the batteries.
