Hi Matthew,
Please understand that the nature of this discussion board limits what I can say.
While you state that a lot of you were expecting results at 300+ cycles.
In our case, we were surprised by the results we attained with our first-generation batterie made with our first iteration of the material.
As a matter of fact, at the start, we did not think we would need to do more than 100 cycle tests with our first-generation material to attain the goal of the test.
Please remember that we were not testing our final iteration of the material, but our first. Think Space X, they don't expect their rockets to perform perfectly on the first test, but they seek to learn as much as possible with each test.
Furthermore, since the tests are done by an outside laboratory, it is not abnormal that delays will occur in receiving and analyzing the data, especially when we ask for an extension to the number of cycles of tests to be done, and this is what happened this time around.
Now while I could elaborate more on the subject, I will cover that more in a subsequent release.
Regards
Bernard Tourillon
