Donut Lab says latest test proves its solid-state battery isn’t a supercapacitor
Donut Lab confirms its battery is not a supercapacitor.

Donut Lab has released test results confirming that its solid-state battery is not a supercapacitor, as previously speculated. Conducted by VTT Technical Research Centre, the test demonstrated that the battery retained 97.7% of its energy after 10 days of inactivity, countering claims that its rapid discharge characteristics were indicative of a supercapacitor. The startup aims to clarify misconceptions about its technology, which boasts impressive specifications including 400 watt-hours per kilogram and a lifespan of 100,000 cycles.
