Why can’t we just use batteries?

I often see posted about how covering a relatively small area in a desert with solar panels could power the world – but transferring that energy is too difficult. Why can’t we just use that to charge batteries and ship them places/ everywhere?

Batteries are much much heavier for the same energy than things like Synthetic fuels, Hydrogen, Methane, Ammonia.

Transporting them would cost a lot of energy by itself.
