Energy tab inspector should show potential total battery runoff

Battery runoff is currently a value that is only indicated in the database and can easily be overlooked when building a circuit. Ideally, each circuit would total the potential runoff of each battery and display that as an entry in the energy tab in the inspector for easy reference. In an even better situation, the potential total battery runoff would be added to the potential consumed power value for that circuit. The attached screenshot shows a case where that would be useful for solving overload issues. The consumers behind the transformer are consuming the maximum wattage of the wire feeding the transformer, however, it's not obvious that the battery is also a consumer via its inherent runoff.

Steps to Reproduce
Look at the energy tab on the inspector for a circuit with any type of battery on it. No indication is given of the actual wattage consumed by the battery due to runoff.
