An interesting question.Â* How does the mass of the batteries compare to
that of water?Â* In my old LS-6a the water was held in bags which ran
from the root almost to the tip ahead of the spar.Â* They were drawn in
by a light rope and pulley system.Â* I would imagine that the battery
cells could be arranged in line, like a machine gun belt and pulled into
the wing thus distributing the load.Â* A lot would depend on the weight,
I suppose.

I wonder if you had a plane with ballast bags, if that would make wing batteries easier.
Not sure if the wing structure expects such concentrated loads?

In my case the battery pack weight is 18kg and 1.5m long.
That mass in that distributed area is not that critical.
