Wouldn't it depend on the length of the trailer? It seems to me the further back the trailer axles are the higher the percentage of weight being transferred to the tongue.
Yep, you are correct.

While that is technically correct, you will find in calculations that because the batteries are so close to the ball and so far from the axles by comparison, the difference is negligible.
Especially considering that a platform scale is considered exceptionally accurate if it is within 20lbs.
For all intents and purposes, you can consider 100 percent of the battery weight as tongue weight.
