Tritium-Powered Betavoltaic Batteries Built for Extremes
NanoTritium™ batteries harness the power of tritium beta decay to generate a consistent flow of low-level electrical energy. This betavoltaic technology provides ultra-long-life power to devices where traditional batteries fall short—in remote, high-risk, or maintenance-prohibitive environments.
Key Features:
- 20+ year lifespan
- Nanowatt to microwatt range
- Performs in high-vibration, extreme temperatures, and vacuum conditions
- No maintenance, charging, or replacement cycles
Choose the Power Profile That Fits Your Platform

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do NanoTritium™ batteries last?
Over 20 years, with gradual, predictable power decay based on tritium’s 12.3-year half-life.
What configurations are available?
Standard packages include CERDIP and LCC styles; custom configurations are available.
Can I test a unit for my application?
Yes. Contact us to discuss evaluation units, pilot projects, or technical specifications.
How much do they cost?
Base pricing begins at $5,250 per battery; bulk pricing and custom options are available.
How safe is tritium?
Tritium emits low-energy beta particles that cannot penetrate skin and are safely contained within our battery packaging.
Are there regulatory considerations?
Yes. Betavoltaic products must comply with handling and transport regulations. We support all required licensing and documentation.
