    The nuclear battery for a phone would be larger than the one in the article and likely paired with a capacitor battery. So the nuclear battery is constantly outputting 1w to a capacitor that stores energy that the device draws from.

    Phones don’t use tons of power constantly and the standby power needs are fairly low.
