A 50 year, nuclear, 100 MICROwatt battery. But sure. Will def get approved.

100 microwatt per battery, but the battery itself is tiny, 15x15x5 mm. Average cellphone battery is ~ 30x60x5 mm, so you can fit 8 cell there. Is it enough to power a phone?

A cell phone uses between 5 watts and 20 watts, according to google, so probably not currently.
