Banach-Tarski and the Paradox of Infinite Cloning

I'd argue you can't cram any electrons into any finite space without infinite energy. But we're not really talking quantum physics, here.

I'm not sure what you mean - any battery you have would seem to contradict you - would you elaborate?

The electrons are not wholly within the battery; they are mostly within the battery. (Batteries discharge over time for an almost completely unrelated reason.)

I think you're misinterpreting the meaning of the wave equation. Batteries self-discharge due to chemical reactions not quantum tunneling.
