Nuclear batteries harness electricity from the electrons emitted during radioactive decay through a process called betavoltaics. They can last an extremely long time, making them suitable for applications where replacing batteries is difficult or impossible. While called nuclear batteries, they do not create energy through nuclear fission or chain reactions.

Nuclear Batteries on wise GEEK: They have been designed for personal use as well as for civil engineering, aeronautics, and medical treatments. The almost magical production of electricity in nuclear batteries is made possible by the process of betavoltaics. Through this technology, the electrons that radioactive isotopes regularly lose due to decay can be harnessed and directed into a stream of electricity. These batteries can have an extremely long life, which makes them useful for applications where it is difficult or impossible to access components for the purpose of battery replacement. They are sometimes referred to as “nuclear batteries,” although this is a bit of a misnomer, as they do not rely on a chain reaction to generate energy.
