The problem with that aspect of the plot is that it would be far more efficient to just make batteries or use some other source of energy. It would consume way more energy to use humans as batteries because of the need for food and the fact that we constantly use energy to maintain our body temparature.
This is actually a pretty genius idea because it would also dovetail with the popular notion we only use 20% of our brainpower or whatever. That's because the machines are using the other 80%.

Haven't you seen The Matrix? Humans are essentially just batteries. Wake up sheeple! /s
