They are testing a 26Ah battery pouch and were able to charge it at a 11C rate for 3 min and it retained 98.4% charge!!

    This result matches largely with the startups claims. Given what they tested, cycle times and aging are largely unknown and thermal management requirements are quite high for fast charging, this results in problems with packing, aging and charge losses. Its a nice first step, but there is a ways to go until market readiness IMHO.

    I’m something of an electrical engineer but not a battery expert by any means.
