Originally in The Matrix people were the CPU/GPU in the robots system, not the batteries.

But WB didn't think anyone knew what those were in 1999

Oh god, that sounds so much better than the battery idea. But yeah I could totally see regular audiences not being able to understand that. Morpheus really succinctly summed up his argument when he just pulled out a AA battery in that scene. Such a good movie moment.
