    It is not clear that they have a real working prototype.

    The current is very low, only 100uW, and there are similar batteries made with tritium. More info in a video by EEVblog eevblog had a good video about this product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzV_uzSTCTM (it's old, but I can't find any evidence of improvements.)
