I heard it was supposed to be using human brains essentially as processing power, but they thought audiences would understand “batteries” better I guess lol.
In the movie they used the word battery, but the explanation was more like chemical power plant. It wasn’t about storing electric energy, but generating it.
But yeah, I remember that half of the people with which I went to the cinema (at release) didn’t understand the movie. So I guess they needed to dump it down even if it creates inconsistencies.
Which also means, that a lot of the machines developed to kill humans and the computation to direct said machines is made by humans themselfes. Hell, the Matrix itself could be just a product of human “brain-calculations”, which is also a nice metaphor for the world. We basically enslave ourselves and barely anyone notices or cares, because we are all caught in the system.
