You don't even have to change any of the movie. Morpheus can believe in the battery thing. He can tell everyone this because it's what he's been told, because it's what the person before told, etc. But I don't think it's been confirmed or denied in any of the material from the franchise. It's just been assumed. Morpheus could just be wrong.

...it really doesn't make sense at all that human brains are being used for compute PR power actually. If you wanted brain's for compute, why are you wasting time simulating some 90's version of life for them? And the power explanation makes no sense either. Organic life's shtick is that it occupies a niche where complex mechanisms can be actuated through astonishingly low inputs of power via artificial lowering of chemical reaction energy thresholds via creation of ideal reaction conditions by way of catalytic enzymes. I loved the movies, and they posed some interesting questions at the time, but my God, they have not aged well. Just thinking of the energy requirements of the Hunter/Killers with their laser thing and the hover nonsense... I'd be a hit at all the parties I'm not invited to for the curious.

    I mean, why do humans collect the shit we do? Maybe the machines just like the aesthetic appeal of a field filled with encased humans attached to a virtual reality. They call it “art”.

The Animatrix has quite a lot of details on that part, you might be interested to watch.
