For the purposes of determining compliance with the weight limitations, the ROBOT battery and its associated half of the
Anderson cable quick connect/disconnect pair (including no more than 12 in. of cable per leg, the associated cable lugs,
connecting bolts, and insulation) are excluded.

If you weigh in with all components you intend on using, you don't have to go through the full re-inspection process every time.
