From this perspective, it seems that the energy in ''manufacturing'' the battery is reasonable enough.

Note: This doesn't include the energy involved in ''mining for'' the minerals to make the battery - which we already saw was an issue anyway (see above). {{x|In general, the rarer the mineral, the more energy it takes to mine.}}
