I have read about it couple of years ago... (6? or more)
Impressive it is, from the miniaturisation point of view.
However, the claim that it will replace batteries is preposterous, and doesn't make sense.

The maximum efficiency coefficient of thermal engines is 29% or so..
The batteries have much more that that (depending on design, it could be close to 100%.. fuel cells could reach 80-90%).

So, forget it...
