Yes, I am a flaming moron today. Carry on.

Edit: I'd like to personally thank everyone upvoting the previous paragraph. You are the wind beneath my wings.

Wouldn't you care more about energy per volume or weight? In other words Watt-hours/cm³.

Thats the discussion. In reality, you care about both. Power density to move the energy into and out of the cell quickly to shorten charge times and supply thirsty loads. Energy density to run lower loads for longer.
