Donut Lab Solid State Battery

Donut lab claims to have created the first working solid state battery!

Donut Lab claims to have invented and created the first solid state battery! This is different from other claims, which have invented one theoretically or in a lab, as Donut Lab's battery is actually being used in motorcycle engines*, which are brutally honest environments. Let's take a look at some of the claims**: • First, how much energy the battery can store compared to its weight is 400 Wh/kg of energy density. This is an excellent energy density because it nearly doubles the capacity compared to other electrical batteries. • Second, the battery is said to be able to charge to 90% in under 5 minutes, 3 times faster than other batteries. • Another claim is that it can last for 100,000 cycles, meaning an extremely long lifespan. • Finally, it is said to have a low cost due to being made completely from abundant and green materials, with no geopolitically sensitive resources. This is all very good well, but many people are sceptical of such a battery, largely because it is not very widespread company, or very skilled team, and it seems to have solved all of the industries problems on one fell swoop. The battery and Donut Lab itself are receiving much skepticism, especially since the claims are extreme, but only time can tell. Next test result goes live in 5 days!
