      Theoretically yes!
      We create energy from food, so the more we eat the more energy we get, so in a way we could even be a kind of rechargeable battery.
      Modifications would be needed for us to generate the correct type of energy though so we won’t be powering our own phones any time soon.

      I have no doubt that the human could be use as a kind of battery because we do already carry small amounts of charge. The amount of charge would be so small though that it wouldn’t be very useful for anything. However in the future it might be possible for you to wear clothing that is fully integrated with a battery and indeed this may have built-in solar recharging panels. South like a crazy idea that you never know,,,
