i read somewhere airgap can still be compromised?

No system is completely safe.  Even with an air-gapped system it is still possible to transmit data: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-11-19/hackers-can-steal-data-wirelessly-from-pcs-that-aren-t-even-online.html.

yea im pretty sure they can even go in thru existing wiring if they wanted to like a 120/220v jack ryan style.... The question is if you charge your offline computer off a pre-charged battery can the existing wiring virus exist in a battery cell too?
