For example, if the official battery is deemed to weigh 14 pounds, just make the weight limit 116 pounds, and have everyone weigh in w/o the battery.
The "official battery" idea would also help to check the "is the battery easily removed" item from the inspection, plus, 130 is a nice round number to play with, eh?
