I think batteries are not getting cheaper, or even getting more expensive, because demand for them has drastically gone up in the last few years - hybrids and EV vehicles, and also the growing need for renewable energy storage. The supply is restricted by limited capacity of mining and processing rare elements needed for their production.
Not to mention that Covid has impacted staffing in mines and factories.
And politics related to some of the main supplying countries...
