Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to health care magic, I share your concern and I will try to help you out in best possible way.
the laptop battery might weigh around 250 gram and falling of battery on your knee from a height of around 3 feet is less likely to cause major damage to knee joint. Also if there was any damage, it would have presented with severe pain and swelling causing restriction of movement at knee joint, which is hallmark of impact injuries. Since there are no such signs and symptoms, you don't have to worry about it.
Hope this clarifies your doubts. Revert back to me if you have follow up queries.
