To be fair, you wouldn't need batteries per se. Modern thermal energy storage matches most types of battery in efficiency and use materials far more abundant and cheaper than lithium. That's what Spain and California are doing with concentrated solar power.

I was counting those also when i said batteries. Under battery I meant any device that can hold the electricity produced in some form and released it when needed, which includes those energy storages.
