   If you could do that, while remaining light enough, then you wouldn't bother   
   with the RTG, and just use the energy storage device.   
   In short, no.   
   Batteries top out somewhere around 500Wh/Kg (not for current ones),   
   which a RTG will beat in under a days output, and there is no storage   
   system that's much better.
