$\begingroup$ I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. But the riddle is tagged "wordplay", maybe this helps? $\endgroup$– haarigertrollCommented Nov 26, 2020 at 13:59

$\begingroup$ I mean are you saying half: comes from a battery or half comes from: a battery. $\endgroup$– PDTCommented Nov 26, 2020 at 14:05

$\begingroup$ I am not sure if you want it to be ambiguous, if so then that is fine, I was just wondering if you did not and accidentally made it so. $\endgroup$– PDTCommented Nov 26, 2020 at 14:07

3$\begingroup$ Why not submit a guess to show how ambiguous the question really is? "False correct" answers may be entertaining in their own right... (Also I'd like to add a disclaimer: This IS my first posted riddle here, and I am not an English native speaker, so it may well be that I lack the experience necessary to find a perfectly watertight wording!) $\endgroup$– haarigertrollCommented Nov 26, 2020 at 14:35
