Battery X Metals Inc. has achieved a significant technological milestone in the sustainability of electric vehicles (EVs) by successfully validating its next-generation Prototype 2.0 battery rebalancing machine on a Class 3 light-duty commercial electric truck in the real world. In addition to restoring 37.7% of the battery pack’s rated capacity, the groundbreaking testing showed 100% recovery of imbalance-related degradation.
The test validates the effectiveness of Battery X Rebalancing Technologies’ unique cell-level voltage alignment method on a 144-cell lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) battery pack from an electric truck that was supplied by a Canadian distributor. After correcting previously lost performance resulting from cell imbalance, the testing showed a recovered capacity of 66.3 ampere-hours (Ah).
Massimo Bellini Bressi, CEO of Battery X Metals, stated, “This practical validation not only demonstrates that our rebalancing technology functions outside of the lab, but it also opens a scalable, cost-effective path for EV battery recovery.” Until all of the cells consistently hit the 4.20 V full-charge benchmark, the machine delivers a targeted rebalancing current of up to 3 A to each cell.
Given that over 40 million EVs worldwide are expected to be out of warranty by 2031, the trial is a component of the company’s larger effort to solve battery lifespan problems. There is an urgent need for reconditioning solutions due to the increase in post-warranty degradation and the high expense of battery replacements.
The participating distributor is now thinking about implementing the Prototype 2.0 more widely throughout its fleet after observing extensive deterioration in its fleet of 20 electric trucks. Furthermore, it is estimated that more than 700 trucks of this type are in use throughout Canada, offering Battery X’s technology a sizable commercial opportunity.
Prototype 2.0’s versatility across vehicle types was further demonstrated by Battery X’s prior validation of the same platform on a Nissan Leaf battery, the second most popular out-of-warranty EV in the US.
The business is now developing standard operating procedures (SOPs) and commercial manufacturing partnerships that are particular to EV platforms, such as Nissan and Tesla models. The strategy used by Battery X satisfies rising economic and environmental needs to prolong battery life, cut waste, and enhance the overall EV ownership experience.
Battery X Metals promotes itself as a pioneer in the field of next-generation EV battery recovery and sustainability, as the adoption of EVs around the world accelerates and battery reconditioning becomes an increasingly important component of the ecosystem.
