One might want to be careful looking for examples at a microscopic 
level. At atomic scales, "things are different", if only because the 
strong and weak forces come into play. I know next to nothing about 
this aspect, other than to know that applying macroscopic rules is risky.

In fact, it would.  It would create an impulse which, with a 
sufficiently sensitive detector, could be detected at a 
distance.  People do this all the time with electrometers.  I am 
aware of at least two researchers essentially doing just this to 
understand dust devil electrification.  Rather than batteries flung 
out of windows, they're looking at charged regions of dust particles, 
but the principal is exactly the same.
