After the recent threads about charging lead-acid batteries, this might be of interest:
Seems that the reason lead-based batteries put out 2+ volts per cell is that their outer electrons are whipping around at 60% of light speed, giving them higher effective mass. Otherwise, the cells would only put out 0.39 volts.
I'm not making this up!
