It is interesting to contemplate the driving need for these batteries in an aircraft setting. In a large commercial airliner, especially a brand new one such as the B-787 Dreamliner, the need is purely a mass savings, which translates into improved fuel economy if one carries the fuel economy calc

The battery as such is a just a bunch of cells connected in series and parallel; the challenge is in the charger, and all it is a protection circuit. It functions to allow charge and discharge under normal conditions, and to inhibit charging at abnormal bus potentials, and to open if too much curre
