A nuclear powered battery, or more properly, a nuclear power supply is composed of a quantity of Plutonium (typically) which will generate heat for a very long time. This is the energy source. This is surrounded by a set of thermocouples which turn the heat into electricity.

This is a pretty expensive way to make electricity, so it is a last resort method. Such as sending a probe deep into space, where solar cells, for example, would not work because of the lack of sunshine.
