Do read the comments below. There are some fear mongers among them but most are quite informative.

Not new. A 1913 technology. Already available except it very costly. See if China can make it cheaper to buy.

The new BV100 is claimed to be a disruptive product on two counts. Firstly, a safe miniature atomic battery with 50 years of maintenance-free stamina is a breakthrough. Secondly, Betavolt claims it is the only company in the world with the technology to dope large-size diamond semiconductor materials, as used by the BV100. The company is using its 4th gen diamond semiconductor material here.
......
Betavolt says its atomic battery is very different from similarly described power cells developed by the US and USSR in the 1960s. It says that the old nuclear batteries were large, dangerous, hot, and expensive products. For example, some old-tech atomic batteries used Plutonium as the radioactive power source. Meanwhile, the Betavolt BV100 is claimed to be safe for consumers and won’t leak radiation even if subjected to gunshots or puncture.
The new, improved levels of safety stem from the choice of materials. Betavolt’s battery uses a nickel-63 isotope as the energy source, which decays to a stable isotope of copper. This, plus the diamond semiconductor material, helps the BV100 operate stably in environments ranging from -60 to 120 degrees Celsius, according to the firm.
......
How does Betavolt make this battery?
......
The BV100 is made by “placing a 2-micron-thick nickel-63 sheet between two diamond semiconductor converters.” This construction relies on Betavolt’s “unique single-crystal diamond semiconductor that is just 10 microns thick.”

Thanks for sharing that fascinating piece of news about the Chinese-developed nuclear-powered battery! The BV100's ability to last 50 years without needing to be recharged is truly mind-blowing. It's incredible to think about the technological advancements that have made such a feat possible.If you're intrigued by cutting-edge battery technology, you might want to explore more about https://www.pkcellpower.com/limno2-battery/. They offer a wide range of high-quality batteries, including lithium batteries like the BV100, which could be of interest to you.

How will they make money? Sell every 50 years to same customer?

This is the first commercially successful betavoltaic battery or nuclear battery. It was developed in the early 1970s by Larry C. Olsen at the American corporation McDonnell Douglas, using the radioisotope Promethium-147 as the beta-electron source coupled to silicon semiconductor cells
