PVWatts-Battery only has a single line for O&M, which is related to the PV capacity and generation. We want to keep it this way because we prefer to keep the PVWatts cases simpler. If users care about things like battery specific O&M, we want to direct them to detailed PV-battery, as that will calculate battery lifetime, the largest component of battery O&M.
That said, the PVWatts-Battery O&M numbers are too low given the above assumption. Include the O&M numbers from https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy22osti/83586.pdf, including the battery into the single number.
