Some laptop batteries are not allowed. Spares have some limits also. Better
check because TSA will take them from you.
Lithium-ion batteries (a.k.a.: rechargeable lithium, lithium polymer,
LIPO, secondary lithium). Passengers may carry all
consumer-sized lithium-ion batteries (no more than 8 grams of equivalent
lithium content or 100 watt hours per battery). This
size covers AA, AAA, cell phone, PDA, camera, camcorder, handheld game,
tablet, and standard laptop computer batteries.
The watt hours (Wh) rating is marked on newer lithium ion batteries and is
explained in #3 below.
Passengers can also bring two (2) larger lithium-ion batteries (more than 8
less than 25 grams of equivalent lithium content per
battery or about 100-300 watt hours per battery) in their carry-on. This
size covers the largest aftermarket extended-life laptop
batteries and most lithium-ion batteries for professional-grade audio/visual
equipment. Most lithium-ion batteries are below
this size.

Surely that isn't true... otherwise laptop computers and cell phones
wouldn't be allowed on board passenger aircraft. A laptop computer's
battery would greatly exceed the power in the original 732A battery
pack.

You might look at the Li-Ion motorcycle batteries. They are designed to
charge from a
normal Pb-Ac system. Down side is a pair of them will run ~$600. They are
>20 AH at
12 volts nominal.
