Researchers craft a fully edible battery

It has a terrible capacity but shows we don't need to use toxic materials.

@arstechnica for those referencing the potato battery, a potato only gives you around .9v and a max of .4mA in short circuit configuration and this one does 0.040 mA at 0.6v so it’s way less powerful BUT it’s much more compact than a potato and, most importantly, the reaction is reversible. IE, it’s a rechargeable battery and a potato isn’t.

Haven't potato batteries existed for a long time? 🤷🏽‍♂️
