Sounds more like an electret than a true battery....IF THAT'S THE CASE,
then it would just be high voltage without any useful amount current.
I have seen a document for sale that claims you can build very large
electrets to produce electrical energy....somehow you continually drain
the charge which replenishes from air? That energy is accumulated in
a capacitor network for periodic discharge into a battery network or to a
higher current storage system.
