There has been some confusion about the limits of chemical energy storage with bulk palladium loaded with deuterium or hydrogen. The limits are not "phenomenal." A typical cathode is about the size of a small wooden match. A cathode of this size holds roughly as much energy as a match (~1000 J), and produces maximum power of ~5 mW. Compare this to the first reported example of heat after death from a cathode of this size. It produced 1.1 MJ at 144 W, which greatly exceeds the limits of chemical energy storage. See:
