The money quote about the applicability of the “dirt” fuel cell:
“We can use very simple engineered systems to capture their electricity. We’re not going to power entire cities with this energy. But we can capture minute amounts of energy to fuel practical, low-power applications.”
In sum - limited applicability.

certainly limited applicability, but, that means that a battery needs not be used in this application that can be utilized elsewhere.
My test on any article based on fantastical claims about tech breakthroughs announcing “too cheap to meter” results:
Do a word search for ‘$’ to see if costs are anywhere stated.
If not, then claims are for amusement purposes only.
Saves me a lot of time.
Yep. Fits in a backpack and powers your watch.
“limited applicability.”
Farms are going high-tech and there is a growing number of remote sensors. Maybe this could make enough power to run low-power remote sensors and RF communications.
