An independent investigation has produced definitive proof that Donut Lab's solid-state battery is actually a standard lithium-ion cell.

    The running theory I had seen was that they were licensing out someone else’s tech, and then claiming it as their own.

    And now this article shows that to be more true than I had thought.

    Meanwhile, there’s a company out of Taiwan doing this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFVIs4leig

    The guy cuts a cell in half with a pair of scissors, and as soon as the scissors are pulled away the little LED light comes back on.

      These seem like ones tested by GreatScott 7 years ago: https://youtu.be/kJXRyWQgOY4

        Same company, their newest cells are based on that tech, but with 7 years of advances, so 360Wh/kg. Which is about the same as most other top end Lithium-ion batteries, just solid-state rather than a liquid electrolyte.
