Replacing two AGM's with four Battleborn batteries will be a wash; same weight. Have not weighed them, but my solar panels can't be more than 10-15 pounds each; I have four. The inverter is probably 20-30 pounds; look it up. The charger controller is just a couple pounds. I see a net gain of less than 100 pounds. Don't worry about it, or reduce weight elsewhere.
