Researchers make new breakthrough with 50-year-old battery technology: 'I didn't know they were still around'

Interesting stuff, I've never even heard of this battery type, and I do love seeing people look at old tech that simply fell out of favor or never was favored as it didn't fit the existing niches like this.

Disused mine in Finland is being turned into a gravity battery to store renewable energy
The firm has developed an energy storage system that raises and lowers weights, offering what it says are “some of the best characteristics of lithium-ion batteries and pumped hydro storage”.
When there is excess power - from wind turbines on a windy day for example - weights would be winched up the Pyhäsalmi mine’s 530-metre auxiliary shaft. To generate energy, these weights can be released turning the winches into generators creating either a short burst of electricity or a slower trickle depending on what is needed.
The gravity energy system would be able to store 2MW of power and integrate into the local energy grid.

Nuclear battery that produces power for 50 years unveiled by Chinese firm
Beijing-based Betavolt said its nuclear battery is the first in the world to realise the miniaturisation of atomic energy, placing 63 nuclear isotopes into a module smaller than a coin.The company said the next-generation battery had already entered the pilot testing stage and will eventually be mass produced for commercial applications like phones and drones.
“Betavolt atomic energy batteries can meet the needs of long-lasting power supply in multiple scenarios, such as aerospace, AI equipment, medical equipment, microprocessors, advanced sensors, small drones and micro-robots,” the firm said in a press release.
Betavolt said its first nuclear battery can deliver 100 microwatts of power and a voltage of 3V, while measuring 15x15x5 cubic millimetres, however it plans to produce a battery with 1 watt of power by 2025.
Their small size means they could be used in series to produce more power, with the company imagining mobile phones that never need to be charged and drones that can fly forever. Its layered design also means it will not catch fire or explode in response to sudden force, Betavolt claims, while also being capable of working in temperatures ranging from -60C to 120C.
Wow! This technology is intriguing, its amazing what the human mind is capable of creating. Such battery is full of potential in its practical application. If they manage to get the production price down and expand the production quantity, expect to see this type of battery to be used in lots of gadgets. Imagine the possibilities this can create. Battery for life so to speak 😀
