This is similarly true to a container of gasoline. The difficult part is we've yet to find a battery tech that comes even close to the same energy density. Gasoline has nearly 12000 Wh/kg, compared to the 200-500 mentioned in the article.

Im curious what a regular size lithium car battery would release if you were to burn it

Not just energy density but also how quickly we can refill it.
