I’m thinking previous discussions on battery tech basically boiled down to betavoltaics being the only decent option. And they’re really only useful for some edge cases. Still, have a look.

A watch implant is also something I’ve been mulling over for a bit now. This is one use case where there actually is a satisfactory power source available in the form of betavoltaic cells . Other types of nuclear batteries use heat (thermionic emissions) to generate power, which is inefficient and requires a very active and dangerous source like plutonium. Betavoltaic cells use tritium decay (like our old friend the xGLO) which is directly convert into energy in a process similar to solar panels. …
