I wonder if we will get to a point where capacitor batteries will be too good.

Can you image a small issue leading to an entire instantaneous energy dump of a large capacity capacitor while on an airplane?

Make me wonder if we will limit how fast a capacitor can discharge in some consumer goods.

I think we have more pressing issues in certain airplanes at the moment, but that's a good point.

Can't blow up the plane if it falls apart first
