Donut Lab’s solid-state battery claim debunked by Ziroth

Ryan Inis Hughes says Donut Lab has engaged in deliberate, calculated deception by claiming to have a solid-state battery ready for mass production.

Donut Lab's miracle battery found to be a fraud, investigation claims

An independent investigation has produced definitive proof that Donut Lab's solid-state battery is actually a standard lithium-ion cell.

The #DonutLabs Drama Series Continuo : They didn’t waterboard, but there was a bit of torture in this last test. Still no smoke and flames. This is good news. Various tech hounds are still flailing a bit about what the tests mean.Industry commentary (not that I’ve gone out of my way) seems to have gone from skeptical to muted.
I’ll repeat on priors : We’ve observed highly atypical performance envelopes in specialized industrial and military applications (not just drones) before. Progress happens

If that were the case then #DonutLabs may have reasons beyond protecting proprietary design to stick to a certain…

If you've been following the Donut Labs Solid State battery claims, you may already know they're hard to believe.

With the new test results from independent VTT labs, there is reason to believe it's a fraud and the cell is simply Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) being charged at an extreme 11C rate causing all the heat you would expect from that.

Testing The World's First Solid-State Battery

Great episode on the battery podcast "Geladen" about the Donutlabs solid state battery.
Apparently the original producing manufacturer is located in Germany and has experience in screen printing. There might be some truth to (part of the) original claims. But for now I'd still stay sceptical.
Great expert on the show, though!
