The battery life makes more sense now. As the mesh grows, retransmission increases and therefore power consumption. Either way, the 10Ah Heltec would last the longest.

It's a portable device, so I always run mine in client mute, so it's not retransmitting other packets, because it's kind of pointless to do so with such a small antenna.

Oh yeah that also increases batt life.
