Batteries weigh a good chunk more than just the cells. You need to physically and electrically connect them together and the aircraft. The latest Pipistrel pack is 154lb and 12.3kWh. Tesla model S 85kWh pack is 1200lbs. Those are actual production packs built by real engineers, not internet 'paper' packs from keyboard experts.
The battery weight is why you cannot have a drop in electric GA engine.
