As someone that supported the battery concept I gotta say I'm not a big fan. The batteries would not only be a pain in the ass to move around but would also add in an artificial cap by what the batteries could take.
What might be better would be keeping the laser and adding a reflector dish. This dish could beam the laser out to clients to fulfill contracts selected by the QM. Trader Bob needs 5 minutes of 20MW+ uninterrupted power or Syndi Kate needs a total of 2 terrawatts of power whenever (or on a time limit).
Also let the beam work as it does now but with diminishing returns. This would mean that entire COULD make their own money but they'd want to work with QM for those sweet contracts... And QM would surely want their cut.
Mining's saviour will be when we finally get the rest of the material science system.
