January 14, 20224 yr Idly looking at the new Leica M11 camera, £7500 for the camera body alone, I noticed the 13.32 Wh little battery costs £142, prompting these thoughts. If priced like that camera battery on battery capacity, the standard Bosch battery would cost £4,264. If priced like that camera battery on battery capacity, my electric car battery would cost £430,303 , 16 times the price of the new car Now in reverse: If the Bosch battery was priced on capacity like my electric car battery, it would cost just £80 If that tiny Leica camera battery was priced on capacity like my electric car battery, it would cost £2.64, instead of £142 The economies of scale gone completely mad ! .

January 14, 20224 yr Idly looking at the new Leica M11 camera, £7500 for the camera body alone, I noticed the 13.32 Wh little battery costs £142, "Which is a mere 2% of the cost of the camera body, sir, for peace of mind. You don't want to be taking a risk damaging your new purchase with a sub-standard battery, do you? How would you like to pay? Cash, card or Coutts?"

To be fair, they have had to stick a little piece of custom bottom plate onto the battery, and I'm sure it was hand polished by a highly skilled German technician for days on end to get that highly desirable finish. £142 sounds like a bargain to me!
