Imagine if gasoline weighed about 100 lbs per gallon and you will
understand the range issue.
These "Nano-Phosphate" type cells will make a big dent in the weight of
airplanes soon. As you can see, they put out a huge amount of power for
their weight, so they will be perfect starting batteries for airplanes.
This specific type of battery has none of the safety issues that other
high-power batteries have.

One of my principles is working with the A123
products with an eye toward a certified replacement
of SVLA/NiCAD batteries on T/C aircraft. So far,
they've reporting nothing that suggests that the
the task is impractical but successful integration
of Li-Ion technology into aircraft WILL require
a battery-friendly charging system (read new smart
regulator for existing aircraft) or a drop-in form-fit-
function device that includes battery management
capabilities. The Li-Ion's are not drop-in replacments
for SVLA . . . they won't take the "abuse".
