For now, a 0/0/0/0/0 can easily get FC battery from getting aerna seekers blown up (which is a LOT easier than getting Strike Forces blown up).

And the low capacity fast charge gets a thumbs up here.

Trade Battery -/-/-/4/-
recharge 46/s
capacity 280
wieght 240
cost between a heavy and a fast charge.

It's not a fast charge, it's not supposed to compete with a fast charge. It's not supposed to support infini boost (except on EC-89). It's a battery for traders.

It's capacity is less than most combat batteries and it's charge is less than a fast charge. It's charge to capacity ratio is ~6 seconds.

Okay this might be a stupid suggestion but I think it would work the best.
Why not make it so that the FC require 4 combat OR say 4 trade 4 mining? I mean getting 4 combat is faster than getting 4 trade. and if you really want, call it a TradeBatt but give it exactly the same stats as a FC.

From an RP point of view any gov would recognise a) the usefullness of traders b) the necessity for traders to have better batteries. So there is no reason for it not happening.
