what kind of batteries are meaningfully heavier when charged? are you just talking about like E/c^2?

• jermaustin1 5y ago
  A water/gravity battery comes to mind. Definitely not the answer you are looking for, but an answer none the less.

    Depends on your definitions. Is the water pumped considered part of the battery before it’s elevated?
    • jermaustin1 5y ago
      The pumping of the water would be "charging" the barrel of water, I guess.

        I'm sure this will work great for powering an aircraft, too. You could just let it all hang from an anchor at the highest point in the battery :-P
