It isn't that simple...

As long there is just one cell (3.7 Volts) it's not rocket science.

If the voltage demand is higher, e.g. 28 Volts, you need 8 cells.

And there is the challenge.

They have to be charged (on 787 serial) AND balanced AND monitored.

If this is not properly done, a thermal runaway may occure.
