Comparing how those technologies improve is apples to oranges.

Transistor manufacturing as we know it today started in the 1950s. Lithium battery tech as we know it started in the early 2000s.

Not only is there a massive difference in time spent on each tech, but the engineering disciplines involved are completely different from each other.
