Stark Battery Tech Thread

can you charge it off a 110 volt wall socket

 

[markhamr]

can i get the portable charger with that

This vid is really great and knowledgeable.

Independent testing is a must but as he says, probably the most important and easiest test to prove it is indeed a solid state battery would have been to simply ask VTT to cut the cell in half so... why didn't they? I mean, they claim it's cheaper to produce.

So basically they're selling a 400 Wh/kg without Li that has all the hallmarks of a 300 Wh/kg Li battery. Best case scenario looks like it's a top NMC battery, with slightly better energy density than Molicel P60B (7%) and maybe able to charge twice as fast.

He's pointing out, as I did, that we'll need proof that all independent tests will be carried on the same cells (at least same cells chemistry), this is quite important.

It might be part of the scam, but it is a lot of trouble to scam this far and to take a product this far --though it has been done before. If it is a scam Lehtimaki is going to have lose weight if he wants to compete with the top rock stars in the snake oil field:

I don't really care if it's Li, SSB or rainbows that fill those battery's. I only care for the output of whatever is in the ''black box''.

If it performs to spec i'm happy.

Seems that the limit cutoff of 90c degrees on the test was part of VTT safety protocol, not that the cell can't handle it... along with a lot of interesting information on this video

I found the above video more objective than Ziroth's video. But this 2nd video arrives at the same conclusion about the voltage curve, NMC lithium ion...

If quacks like a duck...

Interesting Varg battery explosion... i think is legit

Posted it some time ago on this forum. Quite some people thought fake. I'm not sure.

oh sorry i didnt see it

the guy said that Stark is going to fix it with the warranty. The screen turns into the problem interface, i think its a very isolated case but it's true IMO

I could be mistaken about this vid, but one of these cases was the result of a user modification.

This looks like a countershaft axle that went out of allignent pushing the rotor out of allignment and thus shorting the whole thing. Would also explain locking up the rear tyre as he described and the short explosion.
