Cache battery is, basically, a laptop battery- not the lightest thing in the world for sure, but it means you don't have to find a charging socket every evening.
It's a tradeoff, sure, but the reason I went for the trailer option is so that 100% of the heavy stuff detaches neatly from the bike when you get to the campsite, leaving you with a nice light bike to run around on.
In theory.
I wouldn't want to tackle Alpe D'Huez on a touring bike with front and rear panniers and the geo to handle them when I could do it on a lightweight bike with the same geo as my System Six.
