TL;DR
No mention of patent license costs as a separate line item from materials? Boo.
surprise, 50% of the cost is the cathode metals

edit: removed 'precious' for the precious
- I don't think you know what "precious metals" means. Not even one of those listed is one. This will get you up to speed .
  
  naw, dont really care.. didnt really put that much effort into it. didnt expect a pedant.
Uh... the numbers add up to 101.
- Yes, rounding can do that sometimes.
- They are talking about $101/kWh, not percent.
  
  But there are % signs after all the numbers...
