Since battery power involves electricity, I guess the question should be "Is battery powered more efficient than mains (or grid) powered?".
Battery as well as grid, is a way of transporting electric energy. So the question is which is more efficient.
At first glance it is easy to say that transportation via grid can be as high as 99,9% efficient when the distance is no more than 100 m, and can be as low as 88% when the distance is at the range of 1000 km.
The efficiency of the transportation of the electric power via battery is maximum at the range of 90% (since there is always at least 10% of the power left in the battery).

Batteries can be moved around more easily than extension cords, but batteries run out eventually.
So, for small, movable things batteries are better, but for stuff that has to run a long time, and/or uses a lot of energy, mains are better.

Why is current electricity more useful than static electricity?
because static electricity cannot be controlled or manipulated like current electricity (think of the saying "lightning doesnt strike on the same place twice")
Is current electricity more useful and can be controlled?
yes in many ways without control of electricity nothing electrical would work properly.

Does A Dead Laptop Battery Consume More Electricity?
it does from experience....
Which is more useful static or current electricity?
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
Why is current electricity more useful than static electricity?
because static electricity cannot be controlled or manipulated like current electricity (think of the saying "lightning doesnt strike on the same place twice")
Can you make electricity by rubbing two batteries?
There is a way of getting a but more power out of almost dead battery's and that is by rubbing them the friction warms them up and gets a bit more out of them. you can do this with 1 battery as well.
What is their main energy source in suriname?
electricity, geothermal, nuclear, and probably more
Battery light comes on?
Battery Idiot LightIf by battery light you mean the instrument panel charging system warning light, then that means that more electricity is flowing out of the battery than is being put into it.The charging system is not putting out as much electricity as the electrical system is using. In other words, the battery is being "drained" rather than being charged.
How can electrical appliances be operated in areas where an electricity supply is not really available?
You will have to use battery powered devices or have a generator to produce electricity. More recently a large number of homes have solar energy from the sun which generates electricity
What is difference between battery and mains electricity?
Mains supply provides alternative current while battery provides direct current.
Is current electricity more useful and can be controlled?
yes in many ways without control of electricity nothing electrical would work properly.
What is electricity bill online payment most useful for?
