Yes, the Wachowski sisters originally scripted humans being used for neural networking, which was both much more realistic and incredibly ahead of its time. Executives told them that the audience would not understand it, and pushed the battery idea.
They should release a George Lucas style edit where the only edit is replacing the battery in his hand with a raspberry pi that has a huge copper heatsink on it, that way all the talk about btu's makes sense (kind of) and you can support the reference when people call each other "coppertop"
