The cells in pacemakers had the housing of the pacemaker to protect from puncture. These devices are meant to go in portable electronics so puncture safety is far more critical. Honestly radioactive copper as a low volt lifetime battery is an interesting idea. It won’t live power a phone but it could charge it while inactive.
