    Didn’t they say in the article they had plans to release a 1watt battery in 2025? I’ll be honest, I’m not good with electricity. lol

      They did, but from the sounds of it I’m guessing they’re just gonna be a physically bigger one. This is a very very small battery, but produces very little energy. But easy enough to just slap a few of them together.

      Unfortunately, it doesn’t change the power density or anything like that.

      This specific technology will never be in charge of running a smartphone or anything like that. But maybe a tweak or innovation on these radioactive batteries could get them to be a few watts and you could get a super low-powered cell phone device that could be used in emergencies only and last for like 50 years.
