Disappointing if true.
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.
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!
