Yes i to am a Monty python fan
Anyways i was doing some digging on a diy project i am doing and i found this article about lithium metal. Batterys being developed by a company in Berkeley
Now my understanding is most people are scared of powering underwater device's ( or they should be) due to the fact that lithium reacts extremely violently with water even water in the air is bad enough this is why lithium batterys are airtight
But the lithium needs oxygen to react and make power so these genius's just changed the package basically the exterior when placed it water alows oxy in and out but no water technically water becomes the supply of catalyst
So basically means you can kiss having to waterproof your batterys goodby the batterys are high power 1/5 the weight and curently being tested for sea use to make sure there good for the long haul
But don't take my word for it
