Pretendimet për bateri në gjendje të ngurtë të Donut Lab janë hedhur poshtë plotësisht nga Ryan Inis Hughes në kanalin e tij popullor Ziroth në YouTube. Sipas Hughes, Donut Lab është angazhuar në mashtrim të qëllimshëm dhe të llogaritur duke pretenduar se ka një bateri në gjendje të ngurtë gati për prodhim në masë. Në realitet, nuk është asgjë më shumë se një dizajn standard litium-jon. Hetimi i Hughes mori një […]
