2760 lbs

55% is 1518 and 45% is 1242.

What happens when you shift a 30+ lb battery from front to rear?

54% is 1490.4 and 46% is 1269.6

The balance is increase to 54/46 instead of 55/45.

How much weight does the cable add? Like less than 5 lbs?

No offense but calculating weight distribution is not this simple. The weight distribution change depends on how far the change is from cog which changes when you move the weight around , the constant is the wheelbase. I am sure someone has an excel spreadsheet on the web that will do it for you if you are this concerned about it.
