Exactly. The gross all up weight of an aircraft with fuel, cargo, and payload is always a critical factor at takeoff. The use of aircraft fossil fuels have the added benefit of being expended in flight, which serves to lessen the weight and to commensurately increase the range and improve the handling characteristics of the machine.
One of the first procedures that you see large airliners perform during emergency landings is to dump the excess fuel needed for the task if and when they can, to reduce the possibility of fire and explosion. Now imagine dumping a multi ton battery pack, the ability of which will not even be a design feature anyway.
