What if you put in both and charged the lithium battery with solid state one?

The solid state battery does not have enough power to meet average power demands. The phone would work for a short amount of time, then shut off until the small battery charged again.

What is the power density, then? It would have to be amazingly worse than a normal battery if it can't meet average phone demand.
