You absolutely have a limit on what you can store with batteries. That limit is 1 electron per lithium atom. Even if you used pure lithium metal as your electrode, that is still three times as heavy as hydrogen per electron.

Well the only lighter reactive element than lithium is hydrogen, so at that point you'd just be making a hydrogen fuel cell 😂
