Another "more expensive" option is to have two of the smaller batteries. Then you are only carrying the lighter weight (twice) but can switch to the fresh battery when needed. That is if you really need that much battery time, or are on multi-day trips where it is not possible to recharge.
They could also be connected in parallel, but I think that could be a bit of a pain to mess with each time.
Besides the 33 amp hr small batteries and the series 27 big batteries there are a number of batteries. I use an 85 amp hr battery and it works great for me. I suggest that you visit a battery store and see what the weight is for each and get the most amp hrs that you are comfortable with carrying.
