   ---------------------------   
   Zinc + sulfur is both a rocket fuel and a battery candidate.   
      
   I was interested in experimental battery technologies as long as they   
   weren't too toxic. An example:   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium%E2%80%93sulfur_battery   
   "Due to the high operating temperature required (usually between 300 and 350   
   °C), as well as the highly reactive nature of sodium and sodium   
   polysulfides, these batteries are primarily suited for stationary energy   
   storage applications, rather than for use in vehicles."   
      
   Being spattered with molten Sodium put me off that track.
