Some more quick math revels that 900/44 inches from center of bridge is about 20.5 lbs straight down on the bridge. Just remember to round up to be safe.

are you referring to the batteries as 15 lbs? because that is a little heavy :/

Easy to remember numbers and safe assumptions.

EDIT: im aware that the batteries are lighter, as well as their center of mass is closer to the 27.5 inch mark on the bridge.
