This is good reason to create a house rule. For sure the rules do not require a particular gem for high capacity batteries.

Such a house rule makes sense.
I could suggest the gem must have a value of at least the 5% (in thousands $) of the total ST capacity:

$ 1000 up to ST 20
$ 2000 up to ST 40
$ 3000 up to ST 60
... and so on

or the 10% if the GM is particularly evil
