Abstract Enzyme‐enabled biobatteries are promising green options to power the next‐generation of bioelectronics and implantable medical devices. However, existing sources based on enzymatic biofuel chemistry exhibit limited scale‐down feasibility due solid bulky battery structures. Therefore, miniature soft alternatives needed for integration with implants tissues. Here, a biobattery built from nanolitre droplets, fuelled by enzyme‐enabled oxidation reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, generates electrical outputs powers ion fluxes in droplet networks. Optimization components ensures stable output current ~13,000 pA over 24 h, representing more than 600‐fold increase previous approaches, including light‐driven processes. The opens new avenues bioiontronics, exemplified tasks such as ability drive chemical signal transmission integrated synthetic
