Battery X Metals Presents Positive Preliminary Lithium-Ion Battery Rebalancing Trial Results And Accelerates Commercialization Progress Of Its Patent-Pending Lithium-Ion Battery Rebalancing Technology Platform
Battery X Metals' patent-pending lithium-ion battery rebalancing platform has demonstrated positive preliminary estimated driving range improvements of up to approximately 255 kilometres across real-world electric vehicle performance trials, supporting meaningful battery capacity recovery, advanced diagnostics, sustained performance recovery, and validation across multiple commercial and passenger EV platforms. The Company has strengthened its intellectual property portfolio through the completion of its International Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patent application, preserving priority rights while establishing a pathway to pursue patent protection in more than 150 countries. Battery X Metals has completed or is actively advancing compatibility development across five strategic electric vehicle platforms, including the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq, Chevrolet Volt, and the VMC 1200 electric truck. Battery X Metals is accelerating commercialization through the advancement of an integrated EV battery diagnostics platform utilizing an onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) interface, together with the continued development of its Rebalancing Machine hardware and software ecosystem, including wireless connectivity, standardized battery health reporting, commercial hardware refinements, and UL certification initiatives. Over the past twelve months, Battery X Metals has systematically advanced the development and validation of its patent-pending lithium-ion battery rebalancing technology platform through a series of real-world vehicle performance trials and multi-platform evaluations. What began as validation of the Company's core battery rebalancing technology has progressively expanded to demonstrate integrated battery diagnostics, targeted corrective intervention, sustained long-term performance recovery, and applicability across multiple electric vehicle platforms. Collectively, these preliminary validation milestones have established an important technical foundation supporting the Company's transition from technology validation toward commercialization. Battery X Metals is now advancing the next phase of development by accelerating commercialization initiatives intended to support manufacturing readiness, expand vehicle compatibility, strengthen strategic industry relationships and position the Rebalancing Machine for broader commercial deployment. The Company completed a significant intellectual property milestone through the filing of an International patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). The PCT application preserves priority rights from the Company's previously filed U.S. provisional patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) while establishing a pathway to pursue patent protection in more than 150 countries. Battery X Metals, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies Inc., has developed a next-generation, patent-pending lithium-ion battery rebalancing platform (the "Rebalancing Machine") designed to restore usable battery capacity lost through naturally occurring lithium-ion cell imbalance, extend the remaining useful life of electric vehicle ("EV") battery packs, and reduce the need for premature battery replacement. Through a series of real-world performance trials, the Rebalancing Machine has demonstrated measurable improvements in battery capacity utilization, driving range, diagnostic capability, and long-term performance retention across multiple EV platforms. The first Trial demonstrated the Rebalancing Machine's ability to restore a severely degraded battery pack from a reported estimated driving range of approximately 40 kilometres to an estimated 295 kilometres under no-load conditions following completion of a full battery rebalancing procedure, representing an increase of approximately 255 kilometres, or approximately 637%. The restored estimated driving range closely approximated the manufacturer's reported operating range for the platform. The second Trial expanded validation by demonstrating the Rebalancing Machine's integrated battery diagnostic capabilities. During the evaluation, the Rebalancing Machine identified a defective battery cell exhibiting abnormal self-discharge within a parallel-connected cell group that had caused premature vehicle shutdown below approximately 60% state of charge ("SOC"). Following targeted replacement of the affected cell group and completion of a battery rebalancing procedure, the Electric Truck's effective driving range increased from approximately 40 kilometres to an estimated 265 kilometres under no-load conditions, representing an increase of approximately 225 kilometres, or approximately 563%. The Trial demonstrated the Rebalancing Machine's ability to combine advanced battery diagnostics with targeted corrective intervention. The Company subsequently completed a follow-up validation assessment of the second Electric Truck to evaluate the durability of the performance improvements observed during the July 2025 Trial. Following approximately four months and more than 2,000 kilometres of continued real-world operation, the vehicle maintained stable range performance, achieving an estimated driving range of approximately 250 kilometres under comparable testing conditions and a weighted average effective driving range of approximately 220 kilometres per full charge over approximately 92% cumulative state of charge utilization. As disclosed in the Company's January 13, 2026 news release, the Company further expanded validation through a real-world performance trial on a light-duty electric vehicle equipped with a severely imbalanced 144-cell lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) battery pack that had become effectively inoperable, exhibiting an estimated pre-rebalancing driving range of approximately 0.1 kilometres per charge. Following completion of a full battery rebalancing procedure, the vehicle achieved an average estimated driving range of approximately 135.9 kilometres per charge under mixed driving conditions. The rebalancing process also materially reduced cell-level voltage variance across the battery pack, demonstrating improved battery pack balance, enhanced utilization of existing battery capacity, and the ability to restore meaningful vehicle operability without replacing battery cells. The Company announced the results of a series of lithium-ion battery rebalancing trials conducted by multiple international arm's-length third-party automotive service centres on multiple electric vehicle platforms manufactured by BYD Company Limited ("BYD") utilizing the Company's next-generation, patent-pending Rebalancing Machine. The evaluations demonstrated estimated driving range improvements of up to approximately 84 kilometres per charge across BYD Song, Seal and Han vehicle platforms.
