Its called a fruit?

  You can use a potato or an orange as a battery (just stick some wires in). It's not rechargable though.

    This is a common misconception, the battery is NOT the fruit, it's the wires you stick into it.

      It is not. The organic material isn't the part that gets used up, but rather the electrodes. The energy does not really come from the potato, just the chemistry environment. If you take the electrodes out and put them in a new potato, I don't think that will get you a fresh battery.

        Oh, so the fruit is just being used as an electrolyte, not as actual energy storage?
