Instead of ruining cars by taking out Internal Combustion and putting in Fuel Cells, we can enhance our computers by taking out Batteries and putting in Fuel Cells.

It could prove to be very useful. But it is also dangerous.

Indeed, hydrogen is very flammable.. hindenburg anyone.

However, lithium burns worse than Hydrogen.  Lithium burns in Oxygen, just like that.  If lithium touches Oxygen it burns.  And Lithium burns like Magnesium.  It burns under water and with enough light to blind you.  The question is which one's encasing is easier to break.  The Lithium's Plastic case or the Hydrogen's (most likely) metal case?

Great idea, we use them all day, so we can just add a dynamo to the mouse ball...

Oh, wait, you mean real mice.
