 There's no junker in the party, but as he's a VotWW it's perhaps
 plausible that he might have had them made.  What's a good amount to
 set him back for one or two 50-pt batteries?

Figure the cost of components alone is $60. ( 5 ounces of ghost rock at 
around $10 an ounce, plus 5 structural components at $2 a pop). Adding in the 
cost to charge the battery, adds another $100 (10 ounces of GR at $10/oz.).  
Figure the junker wants to at least double his investment (not to mention get 
something for his time), so I'd put the minimum price at $320, but I'd 
probably charge $500 because that works out to a nice round $10/point and 
let's you figure the price of other size batteries without having to do all 
the intervening math.
