casing is around 25% of the mass of a cylindrical cell, with the rest being actual battery bits that can't have any stresses applied. is 25% weight saving that significant?

The idea is that you build the aircraft frame out of the battery.
If you can get it to work (a big if) you get to subtract the weight of the old frame before you make calculate the pseudo-density,
