The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Like a nuclear reactor, it generates electricity from nuclear energy, but it differs by not using a chain reaction.
- Although commonly called batteries, atomic batteries are technically not electrochemical and cannot be charged or recharged.
- Although they are very costly, they have extremely long lives and high energy density, so they are typically used as power sources for equipment that must operate unattended for long periods, such as spacecraft, pacemakers, medical devices, underwater systems, and automated scientific stations in remote parts of the world.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Atomic battery article was read about 47,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 64: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
