SHANGHAI, Dec 15 (SMM) - Power battery output totalled 25.1 GWh in October, up 155% on the year and 8.4% on the month. The increase of power battery output slowed after experiencing a rapid increase of more than 10% for four consecutive months, and the output only rose 8.4% MoM in October. The output of ternary battery stood at  9.2Gwh in October, down 4% on the month, but up 67% on the year. The output of LFP battery stood at 15.9GWH, up 18% MoM and 267% YoY. LFP battery is still the main driving force for the growth of battery output. The market shares of LFP battery rose further, accounting for 63.3% of the total, and the shares of ternary battery fell to 36.6%.

The total installed capacity of power battery in October declined MoM for the first time since April and stood at 15.42GWH, down 2% on the month, but up 162% on the year. The installed capacity of ternary battery stood at 6.97GWH in October, up 14% month on month and 104.3% year on year. The installed capacity of LFP battery recorded 8.43GWH, down 12% on the month, but up 249.5% on the year as the installed capacity of LFP battery had soared in previous months.

Core Lithium Resumes Spodumene Production at Finniss, Boosting Capacity by 20% After Two-Year Break
On September 8th, Core Lithium has produced first spodumene concentrate from the recommissioned Finniss processing plant in the Northern Territory, marking a milestone in the company's staged restart of the operation. Core Lithium restarted mining at the Grants openpit in May and recommissioned the crushing circuit in August to build sufficient crushed ore stockpiles for processing. First concentrate was achieved within six months of the company's final investment decision to proceed with the Finniss restart. The company has undertaken targeted upgrades to debottleneck the processing circuit and optimise recoveries, including screen refurbishments, rolls crusher enhancements and improvements to the ferrosilicon distribution system. Crushing and dense media separation operations have been consolidated into a single control room. These upgrades are expected to increase plant throughput capacity by about 20% to 1.2 million t/y. Finniss began initial spodumene concentrate production in February 2023 before being placed on care and maintenance in mid-2024 amid a downturn in lithium prices. The project has since been repositioned as a lower-cost, long-life operation with a 20-year mine life and average production of 214,000 t/y. Finniss is the only major hard-rock lithium mine operating outside of Western Australia.
