A friend of a brother of mine is an artist who is interested in two items:

1.  A battery that can be trusted after 100 years of storage,

2.  A clock of some sort to alarm after 100 years.

Obviously, shelf-life is the primary concern.

I thought of NASA-type fuel cells for number one, but am not sure
if they would truly be appropriate.

Any ideas?
