I drove a nail through it. Lit its electrolyte on fire. Cut one in half with a pair of scissors. Nothing happened. I flew to Taiwan and spent 2 days inside ProLogium — the company that has been quietly building solid-state batteries for 20 years, and is now shipping cells at giga-watt-hour scale that hit 360 watt-hours per kilogram on a third-party verified test. We weighed it. We tested it. We tortured it. This is the deepest solid-state battery video I've ever made. We break down the 4 problems every solid-state contender has to solve — safety, conductivity, pressure, and scale — and how ProLogium claims to have solved all 4 at once, with cells in production today.

0:19 who else laughed when it wasn’t Donut? 😂
Ball's in your court, Donut Lab.
That's wonderful news. Unlike DoNut lab's series of videos, they proved their honesty by their transparency. Good on them. I can't wait to see the cycle life and have them on our EV's.
The company speaker is a very solid state human
This could be Donut, but they chose to do a soap opera instead
I Donut Bel... Hang on, they actually let you see it all!
Price, thats the one question i want to see answered, looks too good to be cheap. But im glad that finally someone made battery like this actually works, instead of just empty promises... right donutlab? what happened to them? didnt heard about them for quite a while.
It’s like they saw what donut was doing and said, let’s do the opposite so people trust us.
Covering Donut Labs leads to being invited to Asia 😅
I guess if you have nothing to hide and truthful about your product or development you don’t need to hide anything or create clip after clip showing nothing ( ala 🍩). Great access given well done people appreciate transparency and honesty.
Cycle life at rated capacity is the ultimate test and without it we keep fingers crossed. Openess is well appreciated.
Best thing Donut Labs has done, is lead me to your channel. Great content!
Excellent Presentation!! The best battery review I have ever seen; and proof positive that solid state batteries are really here now. : )
Donut out there making a whole bunch of noise like hey look at us we did it everyone, ehhhhh. Which so far has been just that, noise. Prologium, a company I've never even heard of, just quietly invited Ricky over to test their cells like it was the most casual thing in the world. Nice work!
Oh no I damaged my battery, lemme just cut the damaged part off to fix it
I never thought I would be so excited over a battery!
My right ear loved the CEO talking 🙂
I "do beleive" this one about solid state batteries . Transparency = honesty + Modesty . i wish the team all the suscess
Folks at the streets call it Donul Lab battery ;)
One of the most important details was missing. How much does the battery cost?
