See, people? You should listen to the insider podcast.They used a sticky tape on the table so the battery stopped where they wanted, but on their best take it wobbled back a little and made it obvious that something stopped it there. They asked the effects team to fix it and it turned out perfect in the episode.
They were happy with it because it's something that kind of VFX work wouldn't have looked right for a big part of Breaking Bad and they would have to live with it, but nowadays they can count with small fixes like that because the digital tools are so much better.
Another interesting story from this episode: apparently the production notes that described the intent for the "shiny overblown look" of the scenes where Chuck goes outside didn't make it through to whoever was processing the video and so they corrected all the overblown shininess of the scene and it just looked like a normal outdoor scene hahaha... so they went back and fixed it.
