Turkey’s lithium passed high current test. Minister Dönmez announced that the domestic lithium was tested by Aspilsan.

Lithium obtained from boron waste for the first time in the world has successfully completed the high current test required for batteries. Energy and Natural Resources Minister Fatih Dönmez reported that 99.5 percent pure lithium was tested by Aspilsan in battery cells.
