If you run only the drag reduction it can run 100 percent of the time off the batteries. Its only going to add 10 or 15 HP more but the batteries are big enough and current draw is low enough that they could never be depleted.
If you dont want the full power just go 70% throttle instead of >80%...... and trust me after a day with the charger this is very easy to do.
