Donut Lab’s Battery Is Not NMC, CleanTechnica Confirms

A recent CleanTechnica article debunks a claim that Donut Lab’s new battery uses nickel‑manganese‑cobalt (NMC) chemistry. The piece points out that the battery’s appearance—described as “pillow‑shaped” versus a “Pop‑Tart” look—matches a known NMC design only in the former case. By comparing the battery’s physical profile to footage of a genuine NMC cell, the author demonstrates that Donut Lab’s unit is built on a different lithium‑ion chemistry. The clarification follows a viral post that misidentified the battery’s composition, sparking confusion among investors and industry observers. The correction clears up the record and ensures that stakeholders base decisions on accurate technical data rather than misattributed specifications.
