At and extremely slow rate. The high rate batteries use acid to accelerate
the ability to draw power, like car batteries with 270 amps of cranking
power. 270 amps is far in excess of what's necessary for a house's normal
consumption. Obviously other factors come into play, and I wasn't really
trying to get into this line of reasoning.

metal to generate an electrical difference, then perhaps we have a

with
a million miles of copper and some black pipe here and there we could
generate enough electricity for a house?



That's how a battery works, and it consumes one of the metals.

Although that's not really and apples-to-apples comparison, since
a car battery operates at a nominal 12V and a house (in the USA)
operates at a nominal 120V RMS. 270A at 12V is the same amount
of power as 27A at 120V. That would barely drive the air conditioner
in my apartment, and then there are all the lights, computers, etc.

Math was never my strong suit, as I've often complained to Dr. Nuke about
when he brings up math for audio questions.

I do know that I haven't been killed by electricity even though I have done
everything in a house except run power from the pole.

But thanks, Logan. You are right.
