This is a good explanation of the Pros & Cons of Al/Air batteries
It explains the chemistry, how they are constructed, their theoretical advantages (8 kWh per kg ! ), and their practical limitations ( 1.2 kWh/kg ) and how a 140kg battery can give 1000km range with a 90 sec “recharge” using a 40kg cassett swap.
...however lots of side issues to be considered.
Also remember..these are PRIMARY cells , effectively a fuel cell using solid aluminium rather than H2,...
..so, NOT RECHARGEABLE. !
Worth watching..
