In a major technological milestone for electric vehicle (EV) sustainability, Battery X Metals Inc. has successfully validated its next-generation Prototype 2.0 battery rebalancing machine on a real-world Class 3 light-duty commercial electric truck. The breakthrough trial demonstrated 100% recovery of imbalance-related degradation and restored 37.7% of the battery pack’s rated capacity.
The test, conducted on a 144-cell lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) battery pack from an electric truck provided by a Canadian distributor, confirms the efficacy of Battery X Rebalancing Technologies’ proprietary cell-level voltage alignment system. The trial revealed a restored 66.3 ampere-hours (Ah) of capacity, addressing previously lost performance due to cell imbalance.
“This real-world validation not only proves our rebalancing technology works outside the lab, but it also opens a scalable, cost-effective path for EV battery recovery,” said Massimo Bellini Bressi, CEO of Battery X Metals. The machine applies a targeted rebalancing current of up to 3A to each cell until they uniformly reach the 4.20V full-charge benchmark.
The trial is part of the company’s broader push to address battery lifespan concerns as more than 40 million EVs globally are projected to fall out of warranty by 2031. The rise in post-warranty degradation, coupled with costly battery replacements, has created a critical demand for reconditioning solutions.
The participating distributor, which manages a fleet of 20 electric trucks and reports widespread degradation, is now considering broader deployment of the Prototype 2.0 across its fleet. Moreover, over 700 similar trucks are believed to be operating across Canada, presenting a significant market opportunity for Battery X’s technology.
Battery X previously validated the same platform on a Nissan Leaf battery, the second most common out-of-warranty EV in the U.S., further underscoring Prototype 2.0’s adaptability across vehicle types.
The company is now advancing commercial manufacturing partnerships and standard operating procedures (SOPs) tailored to specific EV platforms, including Tesla and Nissan models. Battery X’s approach aligns with growing environmental and economic demands to extend battery life, reduce waste, and improve the overall EV ownership experience.
With global EV adoption accelerating and battery reconditioning becoming a critical part of the ecosystem, Battery X Metals positions itself as a first mover in the next-generation EV battery recovery and sustainability space.
