ok you have 100 9 volt bats. . .One issue I could forsee would be overcoming the batteries maximum voltage. If you plug too many together the voltage becomes great enough to "jump" short-circuit between the terminals in your battery using the molecules as a bridge that causes them to heat up very rapidly and fries the battery.

You're going to want 220 volts output to power some equivalent systems(e-motors) and you have 900. you can split it(lets pretend you have 98 instead) into 4 220 volt systems. This gets you to the right voltage for your electric drive functions.

each cell has roughly 24 units in it that can supply 6 amp hours each for a total of 24 amp hours at 220 volts.

In otherwords you've got 220 volts at 1 amp for 24 hours or 220 volts at 24 amps for one hour. I can't find any electric motor specs at the moment or I would be happy to tell you the other answers.

I'm pretty sure though the problem would be the overload voltage. Also charging becomes a little dangerous or you can burn out the cells because the charge rate of one cell might be different based on temperature and cause a domino effect blowing out others.
