Donut Lab solid-state battery

“But the report measured just two elements, on a cell Donut Lab took apart itself.”

“fake solid state battery claims such as the Donut Labs fiasco”

“the Donut Labs solid-state battery appears to have been a scam”

“Donut Lab's 'solid-state' battery exposed as regular li-ion in investigation”

“their battery wasn't real, its specs were so outlandishly good they sounded completely impossible”

“Guess Donut went with "fake it till you make it" business strategy but somewhere along the way forgot the "make it" part.”

“no idea why anyone believes the same guy when he pulls a new scam”

“The early videos of their lab results looked a big enough scam that I couldn't believe people were buying the hype.”

“that's exactly how our super secret chemistry solid state battery would measure”

“an almost certainly fraudulent fly-by-night company making tiny batteries for motorbikes”

“Donut are a vaporware company with hardly any customers”

“It's clear they have something very interesting.”

“no meaningful new tests released for many weeks already”

“The safety and durability (plus no lithium) prospects of Donut's V1 battery are still big though”

“Donut Labs, with their heavily promoted solid state battery, had previously announced they would be shipping in volume in Q1 2026.”

“Donut battery behaves just like any other battery is expected to behave in same testing”

“It's probably a very high end expensive battery but not the miracle that was promised in CES.”

“They launched a new battery as some life-changing technology - which it seems is not.”

“Their claims about cost are much more suspicious, and they have shown no proof about them.”

“Maybe all other people from YT, Reddit, X are reasonably skeptical?”

“Donut in this case is writing their own prescription and then posting the results.”

“If Donut was serious they would put the full specs of the tested cell in each report”

“so many red flags around something so exceptionally revolutionary that you'd need extremely strong and unquestionably real proof”

“what they've just demonstrated is already a game-changer”

“it would potentially allow for less thermal management and even more density at pack level”

“It's incredibly suspect that in a battery capacity test, Donut did not have VTT verify cell weight or dimension.”

“the founder launching AGI 9 months ago doesn't help their credibility a lot”

“Good to have a VTT report confirming the charging speeds, but the actual differentiator would be the energy density I guess”

“it does at least perform about as well as current conventional batteries”

“CATL is more credible than Donut, but both are making forward-looking statements.”

“Solid state is on schedule for mass production.”

“I found this video on battery chemistry very interesting.”

“Donut won't talk about either the chemistry or the manufacturing.”

“I just wouldn't rely on the idea that multiple companies adopting it means that the technology is real”

“Nanoprinted snakeoil - infinitely scalable. Good enough to grab 3M€ public grants and some more from gullible private investors.”

“It is nanoprinted and trivially scalable.”

“It's just extremely suspect that a company full of mechanical and electrical engineers, who made (supposed) blow out gains in electrical motors this year”

“their page sounds like a revolution in battery industry as they hit all the points”

“The battery may be great, but the multiple company launch seems a bit of a marketing gimmick.”

“Specs are very impressive, aren't they?”
