Found some more links on this:

Boston Business Journal
ArsTechnica

According to the BBJ article, the battery could be as powerful as current batteries, but be the size of a grain of rice!

This kinda got me wondering what's next with this type of nano-engineering, seeing how it's primarily for military projects and the like.

What if you could get the viruses to line up in a trace on a tiny PCB? Why not 'colonize' them into nano-resistors, capacitors, IC's, etc.? In the not-so-distant future, you could be 100% truthful calling surveillance circuits 'bugs'!
