⚡️☢️ NEW - China has begun mass production of nuclear batteries

The declared service life is 50 years without recharging. The battery does not emit radiation, and at the end of its life cycle it turns into ordinary copper.

The creation of a nuclear battery by the Chinese company Betavolt Technology first became known in early 2024, as reported by Hi-Tech Mail.

Now the media has reported that a prototype of a radionuclide battery is going into mass production.

Recall that the BV100 nuclear battery is based on the radioactive isotope nickel-63. It is completely safe, since during the degradation process it does not generate heat (it is not explosive) and turns into stable copper. The declared service life, without the need for maintenance or recharging, is 50+ years. The current version of the battery for mass production has a voltage of 3 V with a total power of 100 microwatts.

The BV100 has an energy density 10 times higher than its lithium-ion counterparts.

The battery leverages China's fourth-generation diamond semiconductor technology to efficiently convert radioactive decay into electricity, offering an energy density over ten times that of lithium batteries.
