What I'm hearing is throw some salt on a banana and power my phone for days.
I wasn't very good at chemistry.
It’s the difference in electronegativity that makes the battery. That’s why you see lithium and oxygen a lot; lithium doesn’t want electrons, oxygen does want them. Sodium and potassium are very close in electronegativity so the salty banana battery wouldn’t be good.
I’m waiting for the cesium / fluorine battery, should theoretically be awesome. Or extremely explosive
That's a much more serious and informative answer than I deserved.
Thank you for the explanation.

I wonder how much it would cost to personally attempt this experiment.. (starts hunting for renters insurance)
