they aren’t built for space. There’s zero pressure so the battery might burst. Also electronics need radiation shielding since there’s no atmosphere to protect them.
In the end you just can’t shield electronics from particle radiation economically. You need plenty of hydrogen atoms for them to bump into (like a mass of water). Otherwise they will get through and cause bit flips and transmute the elements of critical circuits. Gotta just build redundancies.
