Why use batteries when you can used closed fuel cells? There are many
variations on these; basically you burn hydrogen and oxygen to produce water
and energy, in a closed loop. Whenever required, you use external power
(utility grid, solar panels, ship fusion reactor) to crack the water back
into hydrogen and oxygen, so that it can be reused.

These are currently available, although expensive; certainly even slight
increases in TL will make them cheap and small.

If my information is correct, current fuel cells are *much* more efficient
than any currently available batteries, for size/weight.
