Jeff, you hit the nail on the head. The 30.2 really is in its own class. Like fine wine, it got even better with time. After going through so much equipment it is nice to find a keeper! and no more heat from tubes this summer.
With the new RWA amps, they feature a SMART module that automatically turns off the amp if the battery voltage drops too low, so you dont have to worry about accidentally killing the battery. I believe the life of the battery is 2 to 4 years and the cost is cheap at around $20 each times two batteries = $40. My 30.2 manual states that the batteris are user replaceable and gives directions to replace them when the time comes. Seems easy enough.
