I think your comparison is a little misleading in this context. If you assume that the amount of gold used is the same as amount of silver used (it's actually much less), then using gold is actually *cheaper* than using silver if the battery lasts 400 times longer. Of course, this is initial research only, so the relative costs don't really mean anything at this point.

And I thought silver-zinc batteries were too expensive to be practical. Silver : $561.67 per kg Gold : $40,284.86 per kg Yikes.
