 A bio-battery is an energy storing device that is
powered by organic compounds, usually being
glucose, such as the glucose in human blood.

 When enzymes in human bodies break down glucose,

several electrons and protons are released.
A bio-battery is known
as a device in which the
substrate material,
organic or inorganic, is
converted to electric
energy.
 In the field of electricity, a battery is a device that
converts chemical energy to electrical energy.
 Different types of batteries are used in various electronic
and electrical devices.
 However, these batteries contain certain chemicals such
as compounds of lead and mercury, which are highly
toxic in nature.
 Therefore, bio-batteries have a great potential to be used
as suitable alternatives or even replacements for chemical
batteries in the future.
 Passive System Type
A system in which reactive substance are absorbed in to the
electrodes through the process of natural diffusion.

 Active type System

In this type the reactive substance are introduce by force by
techniques as string, convection.
 Quick recharging capabilities
 Eco friendly
 Clean, non-toxic source of energy
 Raw material available easily & plenty
 Extremely safe
 Portable & light weight compared to fuel cell
 Compared to conventional batteries, such as lithium
batteries, bio-batteries are less likely to retain most of
their energy.

 This causes a problem when it comes to long term

usage and storage of energy for these batteries.
 They can be used in the medical implants such as
insulin pumps, pacemakers, and many others.
 A bio-battery can work as a portage charger for devices
such as cell phones, power banks, etc.
 These batteries are perfect to use on the greeting cards
and toys.
 They are extensively used as the generators and remote
power in the disaster relief works.
 These batteries are also used in the defense field for the
purposes of the spying devices, remote sensing, and
surveillance
 Bio-batteries have a very bright future ahead of them as test
productions and research have been increasing over recent
years.

 They serve as a new form of energy that is proving to be

environmentally friendly, as well as successful, in producing
and reserving energy.
 The Bio batteries are High performing, stable, and
reproducible enzymatic fuel cell technology developed over
last 5 years.

electronic circuit (performed at both Power Sources and Army
Science Confs).
