In fact the basic TL9 power cells have way less energy/weight than the best current day batteries(late TL 8), but indeed much higher discharge rates. In fact a TL 9 cell is about equal to a high end current LI battery in total energy, but can get it out really fast.
So the power cells have not solved the issue, instead they have made the default to be fast discharge cell instead of a maximum total energy one.
