In the edition 1, the friend of children card says if you gain energy, you get one extra. I think it is matter of interpretation does it work with batteries. If you interpret that it does, the you triple your money basically. Thus it's very powerful card.

1) "if you wait long enough" is usually too long, and to get a meaningful return you have to drop quite a bit of energy into it, which further delays payoff, let alone reaching the break even point. And that energy is likely better spent immediately then wait for it to pay out eventually.
2) there is an official answer that Friend of Children does nothing to help Monster Batteries.
3) you will note that Monster Batteries is the ONLY card removed from 2nd edition. There is plenty good reason for this.
