contents We propose powering a quantum clock with the non-thermal resources offered by the stationary state of an integrable quantum spin chain, driven out of equilibrium by a quench in a parameter of our choice. Analyzing the bias conditions of the clock, we establish a direct connection with the negativity of the steady-state response function. Using experimentally relevant examples of quantum spin chains, we suggest crossing a phase transition point is crucial for optimal performance. The coupling takes place through a global observable and, even in this case, the battery lifespan is found to be extensive in its size.
