That waste is created as those particular batteries involve microbial yeast-based fuel cells that steal &#8220;some of the electrons produced when the yeast metabolizes glucose&#8221; in order to create a small current. While the entire process works just fine, the yeast cells are at risk unless the waste products are removed. We can&#8217;t exactly let the waste be dumped into the blood stream, so until there&#8217;s a some kind of cleaning process, the batteries are trouble as they either they die off or poison your bloodstream while trying to survive.
