Because it decays slowly — with a half-life of 5,730 years — a radiocarbon battery could theoretically last millennia. That’s ...

Lithium-ion batteries, used in consumer devices and electric vehicles, typically last hours or days between charges. However, with repeated use, they degrade and need to be charged more frequently.

Scientists have developed a prototype nuclear battery using radiocarbon that could power small devices for decades without recharging.
