      The other big '?' that I have is...............why a hydrostat transaxle? You have a finite amount of energy stored on board, and you use a drive system that turns a large amount of that precious energy directly into heat.I don't get it.

One could always get a better charger and cut down the time to recharge. AGM batteries do not charge well in series. The AGM batteries in this are not going to last long.
