Sarytogan Graphite Limited (ASX: $SGA) has reported outstanding endurance in the long-cycle performance of the first lithium-ion batteries made with Sarytogan Graphite. The coin-cell batteries manufactured from Sarytogan Uncoated Spherical Purified Graphite (USPG) have retained 97.3% capacity after 100 charges, suggesting a potential of up to 1,000 charges until the typical useful threshold of 80% capacity. The company's Managing Director, Sean Gregory, expressed delight in the results, emphasizing the significance of these findings in the ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study, which is expected to conclude in Q3 this year.
We are delighted with the endurance demonstrated by Sarytogan Graphite in lithium-ion batteries. This high performance is only possible with highly crystalline graphite, validating Sarytogan Graphite's premium micro-crystalline nature. These results are all significant inputs into the Pre-Feasibility Study which is progressing well and is on track for completion in Q3 this year.
