External ATP Synthesiser Plausibility

Assume a civilisation with futuristically advanced knowledge of biochemistry. Assume it wants to develop a cybernetic device meant to facilitate the organism's ability to perform high-power activities (anaerobic or borderline anaerobic) for longer than normal.

• Would it be plausible for such a device/implant to be made possible by way of artificial, externally- or battery-powered synthesis of adenosine triphosphate with the subsequent transportation thereof to the target cells by blood?
• If it's not normally doable, would some kind of ATP-transporter nanites (or equivalent, analogous to the cassette transporters, perhaps?) make it doable?
• What other obstacles I may be overlooking on the path to artificially boosted endurance of high-energy-cost activities, and which of them are so bad that they're unlikely to overcome by hard-science means?
