NP-F960s (Lithium Ion batteries) hold 38.8 watt-hours of energy and weigh
300 grams. 38.8 divided by 3 and multiplied by 10 equals 129.33333 Wh/kg. 
(And that is the specific energy, not the energy density, BTW. Energy
density would be watt-hours per unit of area. Similarly with specific
power and power density.)
