It's what, 100g or so? Not insignificant.
I'm certain you would notice the difference on a reasonably light bike whether it's mounted in the seatpost or the bottom of the seat tube; with the battery low the bike would feel lighter when you stand on it and throw it from side to side.
That's why I like unpadded seats.

Is the weight really much of a consideration here? The battery really isn’t heavy!
