I've carried a heavy car battery in a single pannier and not had any
problems riding with it. Handling the bike loaded like this while
dismounted needed a bit of care though. Beyond a certain angle of lean
it became a handful.

In what way?

It wanted to fall over and took a lot of strength to restrain. This is
handling the bike while dismounted remember. There was no such problem
when actually riding.

I refer the hon. member to my earlier reply. There were no problems
riding with it. I didn't notice any unusual behaviour from the rear
wheel. Unfortunately I neglected to make measurements of absolute
spoke tension as the wheel rotated.

Dear Dave,

A typical car battery weighs from 30 to 60 pounds, so the
extra weight would be easily handled by a normal bicycle
wheel.

It's about the same as riding with a backpack, or replacing
a nine-stone rider with a thirteen-stone rider

The bicycle engine would be far more aware of the extra
weight than its spokes.

Mine didn't complain about the starter in the pannier.

Of course. It's not a matter of the absolute weight but the fact that
it is offset slightly from the centre-line. Trevor may be wondering
whether there's a significant lateral loading on the wheel.
