Would it be possible to use a beta voltaic tritium battery which has a low power curve to charge little-by-little a lithium ion battery while it's not being used.
let's say I wanted to charge my laptop battery while my laptop was turned off would it be possible to implement nuclear power like this?
Trickle charge laptop with nuclear battery

one, no. even batteries and the lines to it have some resistance and it's "lost" there before charging anything.
many, probably.

How many terrorist watchlists would you get added to for buying this?
Leo Hernandez
how about using capacitors in series and sequentially discharging them to charge a battery for a sustained period of time ?
Matthew Nelson
since tritium can't be weaponized And is used in pacemakers I doubt you would get any attention
Benjamin Butler
this is pretty much already how a powersupply works
look into switching supply

I want a single core ARM phone with e-ink display powered by this.
Should be enough for sms and whatsapp and googling shit in wikipedia.

initially, I think I should have mentioned that batteries like this usually last for 20 years
with the power decreasing steadily over time.
there is a new type of nuclear battery called a carbon Diamond battery which lasts for 6000 years but that is just theoretical

No. Those are in the microamp range. Say ~200uA, that mean it could charge A 3000mAh phone battery in 570 years.
That's not how resistance works. It doesn't eat up all the energy just because it's low amperage.
Yes you could.

you admit it, it's possible
