How 1nfy works.

A battery is usually a chemistry that runs down. 1nfy is a structure: layers that turn a natural, gradual process into steady power. Here is the whole machine, no part of it hidden.

01

The isotope decays, gently.

Inside the core, a small amount of isotope material releases electrons as it naturally decays. Nothing burns, nothing moves, nothing is consumed quickly. The process is steady by nature.

02

The semiconductor captures it.

A semiconductor stack wrapped around the core collects those electrons and converts them into a continuous, quiet electric current. No moving parts, no chemical wear.

03

The regulator holds 1.5 volts.

A regulation stage keeps the output at the familiar 1.5 volts, so low-drain devices designed for a standard AA simply work, for years longer than you are used to.

tb-02 / output over decades

A curve that stays above the line.

Every battery has a curve. Ours barely bends. Rated output stays above what a low-drain device needs for the entire service life, and we will publish the whole curve rather than a single flattering number.

tb-03 / applications

What it is for.

1nfy is rated for steady, low-drain loads: the things in your home that quietly need a little power for a very long time.

  • wall clocks
  • remote controls
  • door and window sensors
  • air and soil meters
  • emergency lights
  • bike and luggage trackers

And what it is not for: 1nfy is not built for cameras, toys with motors, or power tools, and we will not pretend otherwise. Match the cell to the device, and it will quietly outlast nearly everything around it.

Every number, on the sheet.

The same footprint and terminals as the AA you already use, and a rated service life measured in decades. We publish the boring numbers because they are the honest ones.

tb-04 / questions

Asked, answered, archived.

How long does 1nfy actually last?

Rated service life is decades. We will publish the curve rather than a slogan: output stays above what a clock or a remote needs for the whole rating period. We say decades, not forever, because honest numbers are the entire point of this company.

What can it power?

Devices that draw a little power for a long time: clocks, remotes, sensors, meters, trackers, emergency lights. It is not made for high-drain devices such as cameras or power tools, and our specifications say so plainly.

Does it need charging?

No. There is nothing to charge and nothing to replace. The cell converts its own internal process into current, which is exactly why it never runs out in the way ordinary batteries do.

What happens at end of life?

Realistically, someone else in your household will ask this before you do. When the day comes, send the cell back through our take-back program and we will recover the materials properly.

Buy one, forget the rest.

When 1nfy ships, you will buy a single battery, and the habit of replacing ends for good. Join the list and we will write to you first.
