Battery X Metals Inc. has demonstrated a major breakthrough in EV sustainability by using its Prototype 2.0 rebalancing system to restore 37.7% of capacity in an ageing electric truck battery pack—achieving full recovery of imbalance-related degradation in real-world testing.
The trial involved a Class 3 light‑duty commercial truck with a 144-cell NMC lithium-ion battery. Following treatment by the rebalancing machine—which applies up to 3 A per cell until 4.20 V per cell was reached—the pack recovered 66.3 Ah, restoring nearly 38% of its usable capacity.
Massimo Bellini Bressi, CEO of Battery X Metals, stated that this test confirms Prototype 2.0’s real-world effectiveness and heralds a scalable, cost-effective solution to EV battery degradation, potentially significantly extending fleet service lifespans.
The technology builds on prior success with passenger-vehicle batteries, including Tesla and Nissan Leaf packs, and adds commercial trucks to its validated use cases. The participating Canadian distributor—whose 20-truck fleet exhibited heavy degradation—is now considering wider deployment across its estimated 700-looking e-truck installs nation-wide.
With millions of EVs worldwide expected to fall out of warranty by 2031, Battery X’s rebalancing tech is well-positioned to meet growing demand for battery refurbishment over replacement—an approach that could sharply curtail costs and EV battery waste.
Battery X is now preparing standard operating procedures and forging manufacturing partnerships tailored to major EV platforms. Its broader vision: position rebalancing as a key pillar of battery lifecycle management, promoting sustainable use and enhancing long-term EV ownership.
