A Chinese startup has unveiled a new battery that it claims can generate electricity for 50 years with the need for charging or maintenance.

sounds like a tiny rtg,
and according to the article it produces only about 100 microwatts (0.0001W)

for comparison, those calculators with tiny solar cells produce aparently about 0.02W - 0.35W
