Ok, I did a little bit of research. Anyone care to double check this ?

Here's one for $42 at unit quantity. 1200F, max voltage 2.7V
https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/tecate-group/TPLH-2R7-1200SL60X74/2085-TPLH-2R7-1200SL60X74-ND/9930298

Energy is
    E = 1/2 CV^2
where E is joules.

Joules to watt hours is
    Wh = 0.000278 J (approx)

So,
Wh = 0.000278 * 1/2 * 1200 * 2.7^2
      = 1.2 Wh

If that's correct, I'd need about 100 of these to have an operating energy capacity of around 100Wh. (My original parameter was 150Wh for a battery, but that included margin to ensure only charging between about 15% and 80%.)

I'll say right now that 100 caps at $40 is a non starter :)

I'm looking at supercaps. I appreciate that a few people have suggested this, 
though I don't know yet whether it could be done economically.
