High Voltage: Battery storage could power the next lithium boom

Our High Voltage column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, rare earths, and vanadium.
A lot of lithium players abandoned the sector through the price downturn, but a few are standing stoic and strong, timing the development of their projects for a rebound.
Green Technology Metals (ASX:GT1) is one of those companies, confident of a recovery by the time they get the Seymour project in Canada into production in 2027 – when Fastmarkets expect 5.5% spodumene concentrate to be trading at around US$1146/t.
For comparison, investment bank RBC thinks spodumene prices will rise to US$1125/t on a 6% Li2O basis in 2026.
But Arcane Capital Advisors director and co-fund manager YueJer (YJ) Lee thinks it could rebound even sooner, and said he is among the (very) short list of people that think the lithium market will turn around as early as Q4 2025.
“Low battery prices are driving down EV prices and that WILL have an effect on EV penetration rates,” he said.
“This year we will see EVs becoming cheaper than their ICE counterparts in many markets.
“Drivers get lower upfront costs, lower maintenance over the vehicle lifetime, and nearly cost-free driving (and if paired with solar/batteries in the house, literally cost-free.)”
Why will the #lithium market be MUCH bigger than anyone thinks in 2030? Because humans are just innately BAD at forecasting!
1. Solar went EXPONENTIAL vs all linear forecasts.
2. $ALB, Feb 2018 prez, forecast lithium demand “800kt LCE” in 2025. The world hit that in early 2023. pic.twitter.com/AJlmBq9hSx— Energy Transition Investor (@usuallyYJLee) November 1, 2024
That’s just the first tipping point, the second is the growth of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Lee said.
“This is growing exponentially, far faster than companies and analysts realise,” he said.
“Last year’s BESS market was 160GWh (not including behind-the-meter of another 45GWh), and I expect this year the BESS market to be in the 300GWh range (plus another 80GWh BTM).
“Many forecasters are still calculating 200GWh in the whole storage market.
“The difference here is equal to, or greater than, their entire lithium oversupply.”
He’s not alone in that opinion. Liontown Resources (ASX:LTR) Tony Ottaviano sees energy storage systems as the next big growth area for lithium demand.
“The one that I want to draw out is energy storage systems. If we look at this and seeing … the growth we’ve experienced over the last 12 months and what is being projected, we see this as a tremendous growth engine for demand of lithium units,” he said in the company’s earnings call last week.
“Just to give you a bit of colour, I don’t know how many people have seen the recent CATL prospectus, but they are projecting a significant increase in battery shipments for stationary batteries.
“And if they are accurate in their forecast by the end of the decade, they believe that market will be as big as in terms of lithium carbon equivalents to the EV market today.
“That’s how strong they believe this market will grow.”
Lee says there’s one more element to the recovery scenario, that every other large demand source is not well-covered.
“Each e-bus is 300kWh, each truck 600-800kWh,” he said.
“Even ships and ferries are going electric now (LV Shui 01 has a 50MWh battery!).
“With everything electrifying at a faster rate than before, driven by exceptionally low prices of batteries, I see a positive demand shock that should make lithium investors very happy.”
Among the lithium players holding steady are Arizona Lithium (ASX:AZL) who just launched a $2m share purchase plan (SPP) to advance its 6.3Mt lithium carbonate equivalent Prairie lithium project in Canada as it looks toward phase 1 production.
Future Battery Minerals (ASX:FBM), is advancing the promising Big Red lithium deposit within the Kangaroo Hills project in WA – where recent hits include 29m at 1.36% lithium oxide from 38m and 31m at 1.13% lithium oxide from 86m, including 20m at 1.43% – as they wait for the market to turn.
Then there’s Chariot Corporation (ASX:CC9), who picked up seven exploration licences in WA which lie between the 189Mt Earl Grey Mine, jointly owned by Wesfarmers and SQM – the largest lithium producer in the world – and the Marvel Loch gold mine operated by St Barbara (ASX:SBM) as part of its plan to position itself ahead of the next lithium cycle alongside a host of projects in the United States.
On a similar track is Pursuit Minerals (ASX:PUR) who’ve taken meaningful strides towards becoming a commercial producer at its Rio Grande Sur asset in Argentina’s Salta lithium region within the prolific ‘Lithium Triangle’. A 339% resource increase late last year put Pursuit squarely on the Argentine map, with the company believing it now commands attention from the major miners (and briners) looking for a significant lithium investment.
One of those major briners could be American Salars (CSE:USLI) which is so confident of a price recovery that it is forging ahead with a strategy to pick up brine projects across the Americas – specifically more lithium brine assets in Argentina.

Ecograf (ASX:EGR) has completed its environmental and social programs for the Epanko graphite project in Tanzania, which are a key requirement of the financing process for the project.
Key environmental programs include biodiversity surveys and critical habitat assessments; surface and hydrogeological modelling; tailings storage facility evaluation, design and expansion planning; development of a conceptual mine closure plan.
Social and commodity programs include: surveying of households and landholdings to generate updated social data and compensation arrangements; establishment of resettlement working groups; confirmation and valuation of potential resettlement areas proposed by villagers; and community health, human rights, social and labour planning assessments.
And on the larger end of town, Arafura Rare Earths (ASX:ARU) has signed a binding deal with Traxys Europe to supply up to 300 tonnes per year of NdPr oxide from the Nolans Project over five years.
The deal will help Arafura hit its target of securing 80% of planned production under binding agreements. Traxys will market the NdPr globally, helping to diversify the supply chain and manage delivery schedules.
The deal is subject to Arafura completing Nolans’ construction and starting commercial production.
