Why havn't we made some nuclear reactor type energy capsile that can let our flashlights work for years on the same charge rather than months or weeks or even days or HOURS we are limited to by the obsolete battery.
Batteries, should we really be limited to them?

Well,yeah, we could do that, but then when the nuclear capsules start leaking, it would REALLY ruin your flashlight.
My mining buddies and I used to dream about such things years ago, but even if the physics of such a thing was within the realm of possibility, do you think it would be practical to trust EVERYONE with a nuclear reactor when we can't trust nations with them?
Even a small reactor IS a weapon of mass destruction if it isn't treated right, and we can't even get consumer level LiIon AA batteries for fear that someone will charge them in the wrong charger and do some damage.

Fuel cells might be the future:

Also, Japan's Toshiba has unveiled the world's first prototype of a fuel cell to be directly attached to laptop computers, enabling users to operate for five hours with a single replaceable cartridge of methanol fuel, which produces electricity in a chemical reaction with water.
