Apparently the first 3rd party test was on fast charging and the 3rd party is VTT, which is the government affiliated(owned?) "VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland"

The people listed on this report appear to be on LinkedIn, so I guess it will be easy to confirm if the test document is authentic.

The announcement of the test: https://youtu.be/d2QU_LpkSPs

Hopefully, soon we will find out if this seemingly "too good to be true" is a revolution or something else.

Would be nice if they added some more detail about the battery like dimensions and weight, or did I miss that part.

You can take a look at the announcement video https://youtu.be/Y-aPS2AwMbc?si=RD4Ja8tJggLPgXGj

The pdf also has a picture of it where you could possibly reverse Engineer the dimensions based on the other things in the picture. Looks very flat like an iPad battery

That's the same link. Is there a way to attest that this is an official VTT report?

Fairly important bit here at the end:

> This project included independent charging performance tests on the energy storage devices supplied by the customer, which the customer identified as solid-state battery cells.

Sorry, I was trying to compose a post but I was a minute late so copy-pasted the content as a comment and forgot to adopt. Removing the redundant link. Thanks.

BTW, the people who conducted the test appear to be on LinkedIn. I guess its pretty easy to confirm if the test on the company site is authentic.

I’ve been digging into the data (using Gemini and a few other sources). The claims behind https://idonutbelieve.com/ are pretty bold. I’d like to be optimistic, but I’m going to wait for more independent verification before drawing any conclusions.
