Default rxv high speed gear effect on batteries

If i have a 2010 rxv, with 1 year old 12 volt trojan batteries, and i have high speed gears installed, will high speed gears drain the batteries faster than if i had stock gears?

If so, is it a big difference in run time on the batteries, high speed gears vs stock gears, when all other factors are the same?

Yes. Like larger tires, high speed gears place more torque load on the motor, which will draw more current during accelleration.

Yes, and hurts braking performance too.

high speed gears on RXV can be dangerous.

if combined with lift and large tires, braking is terrible. we tried it, it was not safe to sell.
