The previous owner of my E20 has put two larger (higher capacity)
batteries in my elec-trak. These drive the 12V components. I also
have a 300W inverter hooked up (cheap $20) to which I connect my
small electric trimmer. It worked fine all afternoon yesterday. 

Maybe you can also have two batteries be larger? 

see my other post on chargers.
