I thought subject pronouns ("vous" in this case) would make it "ce que"?

En 2004, j'avais de l'argent.

Is it because Napoleon only lost the battle one time, but we can assume I had money for the whole of 2004.

(2) Can you use 'pile' instead of 'batterie'?
Or is there some nuance of meaning which I'm overlooking here?
