- Cell tested: Donut Lab "Solid-State Battery V1" – a pouch cell labeled DL2
- Nominal specs: 26 Ah capacity, 3.6V nominal voltage, 94 Wh energy
- Tested by: Independent third-party lab (VTT) at customer request
- Test equipment: PEC ACT0550 cell tester + Weiss climate chamber capable of -40°C to +180°C
Performance Results - Actual capacity measured: 24.9 Ah (slightly below 26 Ah nominal, but within reasonable variance)
- +80°C discharge: Delivered 110.5% of room-temperature capacity (27.48 Ah vs 24.87 Ah at 24A)
- +100°C discharge: Delivered 107.1% of room-temperature capacity (27.61 Ah at 12A)
- Energy efficiency: ~89-90% round-trip efficiency observed
- Charging: All charging performed at +20°C for safety; cell accepted charge normally after both high-temp tests
Physical Observations Cell used a 2.4kg steel plate on top for mechanical pressure during testing
Post-100°C test: Cell pouch lost vacuum (visible inflation/deflation) but remained electrically functional
No visible damage after 80°C test; cell appeared physically intact after 100°C test despite vacuum loss
Missing claims Energy density: No weight and volume was mentioned
Cycle life: VTT ran only 3 test cycles total.
Cost Claims: Nothing about cost is mentioned
Material Claims: No chemical analysis or materials analysis.
No abuse testing: No nail penetration, no overcharge, no short-circuit, no crush tests.
Company has said next report will drop next monday i.e. March 9th 26 Ah nominal capacity at 1C discharge rate
94 Wh nominal energy with 3.6V nominal voltage
Operates within 2.7V – 4.15V recommended range (max charging to 4.3V)
What was verified 5C charging (130A): 0-80% in ~9.5 minutes, 0-100% in ~13.5 minutes
11C charging (286A): 0-80% in ~4.9 minutes, 0-100% in ~7.3 minutes
Successfully delivered 98.4-99.6% of charged capacity even after extreme 11C charging
Thermal Management Tested with both one-sided and two-sided heat sinks to simulate real-world conditions
With dual heat sinks: Peak temps of 47°C (5C) and 63°C (11C) — well within safe limits
With single heat sink: Reached 61.5°C (5C) and up to 89°C (11C) — still functional but approaching thermal limit
Missing claims Energy density: No weight and volume was mentioned
Cycle life: VTT ran only 7 test cycles total.
Cost Claims: Nothing about cost is mentioned
Material Claims: No chemical analysis or materials analysis.
Extreme Temperature Performance: No cold weather testing. No high-temperature testing.
No abuse testing: No nail penetration, no overcharge, no short-circuit, no crush tests.
But according to the company website another report will drop next monday (March 2nd).
