Batteries are "cool", electricity used in mobility seems it is becoming the panacea of all our problems.
But when it comes to an everyday use it happens that a lot of "new" problems arise. Why? It is not so easy to have a good substitute for the heavily criticized oil.
More than a century of large use made people to get used to a series of features; to come back is hard, for everyone.

So, leaving out the claims ("this battery will be powerful, long lasting, eco friendly, etc..."), can you tell me if there is something that might be used in light aircrafts? Except the Li-ion batteries?
I mean: a battery that doesn't want to explode, that can be charged in a reasonable amount of time, light enough to be put onto an aircraft, that has a demonstrated high energy density, that can live years?
As you can see I haven't listed the cost.
I hope this post will get lot of replies...

*I have some more info about a new kind of energy package I'd like to know more about. But I have to decide if I have to open a new post. We'll see.
