Hmmm - just how fast can the stored energy escape from the Li-ion battery? Because it can get out of a compressed air bottle pretty fast. And, although we do glue wings on aircraft, they tend not to collide with other objects as frequently as cars. Mind you, a good glue joint is way better than a mediocre weld.
