Debunking the Myth: The Truth About Radioactive Electric Car Batteries
Unlike traditional batteries that use radioactive materials such as cobalt or nickel, non-radioactive batteries utilize alternative materials that pose no harm to the environment or to human health. In fact, non-radioactive batteries are often made from recycled materials, reducing the amount of waste in landfills and helping to preserve …
FEATURE: Diamond batteries are forever
The resulting battery is effectively self-charging in that the diamond is able to produce a charge when it''s placed in close proximity to a radioactive source. The Bristol team initially demonstrated a prototype that used nickel-63 as the source of radiation, although they later chose to utilise carbon-14, a radioactive version of carbon.
Do Batteries Emit Radiation?
No, similar to alkaline batteries, lithium ion batteries are simply storage of chemical energy, that without a completed circuit does not provide electricity, and does not emit any radiation. This is a common misconception though, because the vast majority of devices that contain lithium ion batteries do emit harmful EMF radiation.

An atomic battery, nuclear battery, radioisotope battery or radioisotope generator is a device which uses energy from the decay of a radioactive isotope to generate electricity. Like nuclear reactors, they generate electricity from nuclear energy, but differ in that they do not use a chain reaction. Although commonly called batteries, they are technically not electrochemical and cannot be charged or recharged. They are very costly, but have an extremely long life and high energy density
