Most that I found on that were the google links from October, 2009, and it looks like dirt batteries may still be in the lab:

Pete, along the lines of engineering LEDs to super-bright, super- powerful (which means hopefully we could have some fantastic headlamps maybe not too far in the future), I read a couple years back about the development of bacteria-powered batteries that would be really light and flat like refrigerator magnets, and last for a long, long time. Have you read anything about that and if industry is moving forward on it?
