Lower bounds for the Neron-Tate height of a \(\overline \mathbb{Q}\)-rational point of infinite order of an elliptic curve over \(\overline \mathbb{Q}\) are given, improving on previous estimates obtained by the author. The results of this paper rely on a transcendence construction, which is a variant of a construction given by \textit{D. Masser} [Bull. Soc. Math. Fr. 117, 247-265 (1989; Zbl 0723.14026)]. The author uses the periodicity of the elliptic function associated with a suitable model of the given elliptic curve and works simultaneously at several places of multiplicative bad reduction. A consequence of this work is that the ``5th successive minimum'' tends to infinity with the height of the curve.
