Bigger capacity cells,
That 's what I am getting at.

If the same, or greater power can be derived from a 60% smaller volume of cells, then the energy density of those cells must be more than double.

Energy efficiency savings gained by better circuit design would be somewhere around 5-10%, and only then if the mark one electronics were very inefficient to start with.
