From the article:

> The pouch cell as described, can provide ∼1 mA of current. At the typical operating voltage of ∼0.5v, each cell can provide ∼0.5mW. The cell is robust to at least ten cycles of charge and discharge without noticeable loss in capacity. An array of 6 cells is thus sufficient for low current electronics for sensing applications (such as low power microcontrollers like Texas Instruments MSP430).

It's research into making safe, DIY rechargeable batteries, which is pretty damned cool.

The reason the first person commented is because it's clearly touted as a solution intended for large scale batteries for renewable energy.

Restating that part doesn't change that, and it never states that use case as an intended application.
