Zinc + sulfur is both a rocket fuel and a battery candidate.

I was interested in experimental battery technologies as long as they 
weren't too toxic. An example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium%E2%80%93sulfur_battery
"Due to the high operating temperature required (usually between 300 and 350 
°C), as well as the highly reactive nature of sodium and sodium 
polysulfides, these batteries are primarily suited for stationary energy 
storage applications, rather than for use in vehicles."

Being spattered with molten Sodium put me off that track.
