Humans aren’t good batteries...
Someone once told me “ If I could harness all the energy of a young child I could make a fortune.”
At a hands history museum, I observed how much power a child can produce with a WW2 hand-powered generator. They couldn’t get a LED flashlight going.
You see humans of any age and biological sex aren’t really good at producing energy. At the best estimates, an adult human can barely produce 8 horsepower. Which drops as we age.
Even with technology helping us it can’t produce power at high volume.
If the Matrix ever became a reality the synthetic lifeforms might want to look elsewhere for power sources.
