Why can't two capacitor plates be far away from each other if it's really just the battery creating the potential difference between the plates?

Capacitance is directly proportional to the area of the plates divided by the distance between the two plates. The farther away the plates are the lower capacitance will be. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between the two plates. If those plates are very far apart, the field gets crappy real fast.
