IIRC, you were the guy who pointed out to me in 1995 or so that the only difference between "battery" and "bomb" was the rate of release of the stored energy.
Maybe this is a good reason for airlines to get behind fuel-cell powered laptops. Aside from the very safe rate of power discharge, with water as the only "waste" product, you can cut down on stewards bringing around drinks.
