Perhaps the lower power output of the new tech battery could be used to (slowly) recharge a set of standard batteries. Assuming the "decay battery" could reliably put out say 100 watts consistently then each day you'd have 2.4 kilowatt hours of stored energy to play with. That might power a little runaround electric car for an hour or two?
