Very different technology; The charge algorythms used within cellphones and other personal equipment are locked down to the cell-count for that device, with other safegaurds.
The original question about using Lithium technology for sailplanes, at the moment it does not warrant their use for a couple of reasons. First the form factor, those cells which would adequately meet the current demands are relatively large (18650 - 18mm dia x 650mm length). Although the size of prizmatics would fit our current moldies, they offer no where NEAR the required current demands due to their internal structure. I suspect the poster who used Lithiums in his sailplane was able to do so because the aircraft's size allowed it...
