A modular airfoil-shaped battery disposed in a wing of an aircraft is presented. In one embodiment, the present disclosure provides for a system configured to have batteries or battery modules stored and accessible through access openings in the forward wing spar. The access openings in the forward spar can provide access for battery insertion and removal, as well as electrical and thermal management connections. Such forward spar access openings can be a relatively small, as the access opening need to only be as large as the battery cross section. A battery can comprise one or more battery modules based on the application requirements. The aircraft battery can be distributed among more, smaller battery modules. The battery modules can be placed in different locations in the wing. For example, the battery modules can be placed proximate an aircraft fuselage to achieve a better center of gravity.
