Battery X Metals Launches First Commercial Trial of EV Battery Rebalancing Tech After Electric Truck’s Range Surges 637%
Battery X Metals Inc., through its subsidiary Battery X Rebalancing Technologies Inc., has initiated a groundbreaking Commercial Revenue Share Agreement with a Vancouver-based automotive service center that specializes in out-of-warranty Tesla vehicles. This partnership represents the debut of the company’s innovative second-generation lithium-ion battery rebalancing platform, known as Prototype 2.0.
Following rigorous real-world trials, Prototype 2.0 demonstrated a remarkable ability to enhance an electric truck’s driving range from a mere 40 kilometers to an impressive 295 kilometers—an increase of 255 kilometers or an astounding 637.5%. This significant advancement highlights the platform’s capability to rejuvenate aging electric vehicle (EV) batteries often impaired by cell imbalance, a prevalent issue contributing to diminished range in older models.
Under the terms of this revenue-sharing agreement, Battery X is poised to earn 20% of the gross income generated from the rebalancing services, all while avoiding direct labor and operational costs. As the platform transitions from the validation stage to a real-world customer setting, the launch accelerates Battery X’s strategy for commercialization and allows for early revenue generation.
“This marks a meaningful milestone in our roadmap,” stated Massimo Bellini Bressi, CEO of Battery X Metals. “It allows us to generate revenue, gather critical operational data, and refine our platform—all without overhead costs.”
Battery X’s solution directly confronts a crucial issue within the global EV market: battery degradation. With projections indicating that millions of EVs will exit their warranty periods by 2031, the demand for economical and scalable battery recovery solutions is intensifying. The rebalancing methodology offers a cost-effective alternative to complete battery replacements, particularly essential for fleet operators managing multiple vehicles.
### Technical Breakthroughs: How Prototype 2.0 Works
Prototype 2.0 underwent trials on a 144-cell lithium-ion battery pack utilizing NMC chemistry. After the rebalancing process, subsequent performance tests revealed that the truck was capable of reaching its original range specification of 295 kilometers under no-load conditions.
To enhance the efficiency of its operations, Battery X is also working on developing standardized operating procedures (SOPs) and expanding the compatibility of the platform to other electric vehicles, such as the Nissan Leaf and various Tesla models. The technology has received validation from the National Research Council of Canada, which confirmed its efficacy in recovering nearly all lost battery capacity due to cell imbalance.
### Future Prospects and Strategic Expansion
The company is actively pursuing manufacturing agreements to increase the production of Prototype 2.0 and expand its implementation across fleets and automotive service centers. While the partnership with the Vancouver service center represents the first commercial endeavor of its kind, ongoing negotiations with a distributor of electric truck fleets indicate potential for broader market penetration. Many fleet vehicles reportedly experience similar degradation challenges, signifying a substantial commercial opportunity.
Battery X Metals’ expansive strategy also includes AI-driven mineral exploration, sustainable recycling practices, and initiatives for extending EV battery lifespan—an integrated vision that aligns with the ongoing energy transition.
The implications of this agreement extend beyond immediate revenue opportunities; it represents a fundamental shift in how battery rebalancing could alter the landscape of electric vehicle maintenance and sustainability, solidifying Battery X’s footprint in the rapidly evolving electric mobility sector.
