Scientists at the University of Missouri are developing a small nuclear battery that they say can hold a million times more charge than standard batteries.
The radioisotope battery, being developed by Jae Kwon of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and other researchers, is the size and thickness of a penny.
The battery is designed to drive micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS). Such devices include labs on a chip, and biological and chemical sensors.

You can't recharge a nuclear battery, though. Only replace.
