Century Lithium (LCE.V) says lithium carbonate produced from its Angel Island Lithium Project in Nevada was converted into lithium metal and incorporated into cylindrical cells.
This work was supported by funding from the US Army Small Business Innovation Research program.
Initial discharge results showed higher operating voltages and improved power performance compared with the control cells, necessary for defense applications which require lightweight, high-energy, and high-power battery systems, a statement said.
"The results from this first phase program are important for Century Lithium and further highlight Angel Island as a quality domestic source of lithium," said chief executive Bill Willoughby.
