Yes, it's possible that it would have some positive break-in. The problems I see with this is that the music signal is really an AC signal in both the interconnects and the speaker wires. Then, if break-in for silver wires is hundreds of hours (and I agree that it is), you would need to use a battery for hundreds of hours (maybe reversing direction half the time) to break-in the cable. That is a lot of batteries. And finally, the signal from a battery would not be varying in both frequency and amplitude (s music does) somewhat limiting the similarities of thr break-in process.So far the only ways I have heard of that are somewhat successful at shortening the break in time on a system are cable cookers (that do what you are attempting to do with the battery, but much stronger signal [stronger than a normal interconnect signal in an attempt to shorten break-in time]and installing the cable in an auxillary application (like using your cable-tv box)to break-in a cable before installing the cable in it's final destination. This is popular with power cords especially where refridgerators or computers are used to break in power cords.
