Battery X Metals Inc., an energy transition and technology company, announced a significant expansion of its lithium-ion battery rebalancing capabilities through its wholly owned subsidiary, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies Inc. The latest development introduces functionality for the Nissan Leaf, the second most common out-of-warranty electric vehicle (EV) in the United States, as part of the company’s mission to support battery longevity and cost-effective EV ownership.
This move follows the company’s recent milestone—the unveiling of Prototype 2.0, its second-generation rebalancing machine. Featuring advanced diagnostics, patent-pending cell balancing, integrated connectivity, and a compact, field-ready design, the prototype underscores the company’s growing role in next-generation battery technology.
“With the Nissan Leaf’s significant presence in the global EV market and a rapidly growing out-of-warranty fleet, expanding our platform to include Leaf batteries is both strategic and timely,” said a company spokesperson.
Collaborative Development with Factor E Motors
Battery X Rebalancing Technologies will collaborate with Vancouver-based Factor E Motors, an EV service center specializing in out-of-warranty Tesla vehicles, to refine its rebalancing technology using a Nissan Leaf battery pack. This partnership builds on a non-commercial agreement announced earlier this month, under which the companies are jointly developing and testing rebalancing solutions for Tesla Model 3 and Model X packs.
The Nissan Leaf battery pack—acquired for $1,120 from an independent party—will be used to conduct full diagnostic and rebalancing tests, support the development of specialized connector ports, and help standardize procedures for broader commercial applications.
Addressing the EV Industry’s Growing Challenge
With global EV sales reaching 17.1 million in 2024—a 25% rise from 2023—and over 40 million EVs cumulatively sold since 2015, millions of vehicles are now exiting their warranty period. By 2031, nearly 40 million electric and hybrid vehicles globally are expected to fall outside original coverage, placing owners at risk of costly battery issues.
Battery X Rebalancing Technologies seeks to fill this gap. Its patent-pending rebalancing technology has been validated by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), which confirmed that the system can correct cell imbalances and recover nearly all lost battery capacity. In one key test, rebalancing restored capacity from 46.24Ah to near the original 71.10Ah on intentionally imbalanced battery modules.
A Vision for Affordable, Sustainable EV Ownership
As a pioneer in battery lifespan extension, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies aims to make electric vehicle ownership more sustainable and affordable. By helping to reduce battery replacement costs and extend functional lifespans, the company positions itself at the heart of the EV circular economy.
With the Nissan Leaf now integrated into its rebalancing platform, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies is preparing to expand its capabilities to other high-volume EV models entering the out-of-warranty phase—ensuring long-term support for EV owners amid the global energy transition.
