This Sucker's Nuclear?

That is a picture of a nuclear powered smart phone battery that is currently for sale in China.
For the low, low, price of 6,980 yuan (US$ 1,122) and is listed as a "20 Years Non-Stop Non-Charging Nano-Tritium Nuclear Battery."  

I don't about you but the words "nuclear Power" don't exactly conjure up the idea of safe and healthy or for that matter  exposure just might make one glow in the dark. Who's to say?

The product’s image clearly marked with that notorious radioactive symbol we’ve all been taught to fear and carries the warning label: “Caution – Radioactive Material.”

The active material in these batteries, tritium, is dangerous if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed into the skin.  However, it’s unlikely that you would be eating these batteries even despite their cracker-like appearance.

According to the City Labs website, in addition to lasting 20 years, these batteries can withstand a temperature range of -50℃ to 150℃, as well as extreme vibrations and altitude changes.
