At CES, Donut Lab presented a solid-state battery allegedly ready for mass production. Donut has now commissioned the Finnish research center VTT to conduct an independent review and has published the first findings. 5 minutes at an extreme 11C rate. It doesn't blow up, but it gets pretty damn hot. While marketed as a breakthrough in energy density, safety, and charging speed, independent testing by Finland's VTT Research Institute, and as. . Independent lab testing of a Donut Lab “Solid-State Battery” cell by Finland's VTT shows it's indistinguishable from the NMC cell it may very well be. That means the Samsung Galaxy S26 battery is expected to retain 80% capacity after 1,200 full charges, a noticeable reduction in long-term battery health.
