I've spent years, on and off, trying to understand what volts means and wha=
t watts or amps or current means.  Literally since I first opened a book ab=
out electronics when I was small.

I may perhaps be close.

Given matter to energy conversion rules and laws, and adhering to all known=
 laws of physics...

What if I had a 9 volt battery that could easily supply all the power neces=
sary to my home for 1 year.  Or power a small neighborhood for a day no mat=
ter what  the energy consumption...

This would be indeed an efficient chemical battery, but given the right tec=
hnology, it could be done,  no?

Given that:  Could I plug that same 9 volt battery into  something small, l=
ike a TV remote control, or a hand-held radio?  In place of a 9v battery th=
at I can buy today?  Without any changes to resistors, capacitors, transist=
ors?  No changes to the circuits?

And further, could that same 9 volt battery be used anywhere a battery is r=
equired, a car starter, a toy, an electric wheel chair, an electric train n=
ormally powered by a diesel?  Assuming that in some cases the voltage will =
need to be changed?

It's probably painfully obvious those are my questions, not any out of a bo=
ok or for a class.  :)

Thanks!
