Not, for example, if it's only producing 1l/day.

But you can't imagine it doing a lot more?

I don't think batteries will soak up that much salt for their use. And I'd imagine they saturate over time. It's very different than something built specifically for deslination.

Each battery won't, but a factory making lots of batteries...
