Sarytogan Graphite's breakthrough in li-ion battery performance

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.

Executive commentary on li-ion battery performance

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.

Summary of Sarytogan Graphite's breakthrough and future outlook

Sarytogan Graphite has showcased exceptional endurance in lithium-ion batteries, with the USPG demonstrating 97.3% capacity retention after 100 charges. The company's focus on highly crystalline graphite has proven to be a key factor in achieving this high performance. The ongoing Pre-Feasibility Study, expected to conclude in Q3 this year, will incorporate these significant findings. With the successful development of Coated Spherical Purified Graphite (CSPG) and upcoming cycle testing, Sarytogan Graphite is poised to make further strides in the lithium-ion battery market. The company's strategy to supply high-quality anode pre-cursor material for the rapidly growing electric vehicle battery market is well advanced, reflecting its commitment to meeting the evolving demands of the industry.
