Radioactive energy sources such as tritium have been used for many years; however, tritium is a significant health concern unless properly secured. Current methods for securing tritium result in a low-density product with low potential as a significant energy source. This invention provides a device and method for producing secure, high-density tritium bonded with carbon. A precursor of tritium (lithium-6 or boron-10) is inserted between layers of carbon and irradiated with neutrons to form tritium. The result is a secure, high- density, bonded tritium source which can provide long-term power and is capable of operating in extreme environments and under extreme temperatures.

This patented method is configured to detect charge and discharge pulse transition rates of systems coupled to electrochemical cells. The pulse transition rate is then adjusted before it reaches the battery sufficient to reduce degradation caused by transitions greater than a determined rate.
