Yep, it’s fast: Donut Lab’s solid-state battery gets its first test result

TL;DR

  • Donut Lab's solid-state battery underwent independent testing by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
  • The battery demonstrated rapid charging, achieving 0-80% in approximately 4.5-9.5 minutes while retaining 99-100% capacity.
  • Tests showed the battery could charge without the need for heavy, expensive liquid cooling systems.
  • Solid-state batteries are considered a potential successor to traditional lithium-ion batteries due to higher energy density and safety.
  • Donut Lab claims its battery delivers 400 Wh/kg, significantly higher than current lithium-ion batteries, and can last 100,000 cycles.
  • The test report did not confirm the battery's chemistry or address the potential 'dendrite issue'.
