Only problem is that the Ampere is a unit of CURRENT, not energy. It's like saying someone weighs 686 Newtons
The first sentence is correct. However! Newtons are in fact the pedantically-correct unit for weight. 686 Newtons = 154 pounds force, which is a perfectly reasonable weight for a person in Earth-standard gravity.
(The person in question would have a mass of 70 kilograms, independent of local gravitational conditions.)
