You're right. If we further expand the idea we can extract energy from anything flammable or otherwise reactant. I'll refrain from calling my dog a battery though.

Now excuse me while I go feed little Duracell. Good girl!

There are aluminum batteries you know. There are practical reasons they're not in wide use, but they have incredible energy density, one of the highest of any battery.
