Why does anyone think that having a very volatile fuel that rotates at 18000rpm is more safe than another battery? Please, answers on a postcard. What kind of HT is on spark plugs?

KERS may be primitive to Toyota's system but it was not designed for the same end purpose so to compare them is to compare an apple to a potato.
