Battery X Metals (BATXF) is expanding its patent-pending battery rebalancing technology to include the Nissan Leaf, the second most common out-of-warranty EV in the United States. The company's subsidiary, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies, will collaborate with Factor E Motors to develop connector ports and validate rebalancing procedures using a Nissan Leaf battery pack acquired for $1,120.
The company's Prototype 2.0 represents significant advancement in their technology, featuring advanced diagnostics, patent-pending cell balancing functionality, and improved field operability. The National Research Council of Canada has validated the technology's effectiveness in correcting cell imbalances, demonstrating recovery of lost capacity in lithium-ion battery packs.
With over 114,000 eligible Nissan Leaf vehicles in the U.S. market and global EV sales reaching 17.1 million units in 2024, Battery X Metals is positioning itself to address the growing need for battery life extension solutions as EVs exit warranty coverage.
Battery X Metals (BATXF) has partnered with Factor E Motors, Vancouver's first independent Tesla dealership, to advance its battery rebalancing technology for Tesla vehicles. The collaboration will focus on validating Battery X's second-generation prototype (Prototype 2.0) for Tesla Model 3 and Model X battery packs.
Factor E Motors, operated by award-winning former Tesla technicians, will assist with pre-rebalancing diagnostics, rebalancing procedures, and post-rebalancing evaluations. The non-commercial agreement aims to develop standardized operating procedures and validate the company's technology. Battery X's rebalancing technology, validated by the National Research Council of Canada, has demonstrated 99.4% recovery of lost capacity in previous tests.
This partnership is strategically timed as Tesla, commanding 45% of the U.S. EV market, faces a surge of vehicles approaching the end of their battery warranty coverage by 2032.
Battery X Metals (BATXF) has achieved a significant milestone in its battery recycling technology development through collaboration with a Global Top 20 university. The company's new solvent has demonstrated impressive improvements in their eco-friendly flotation process, including:
- A 26.5% to 31.5% increase in oxide recovery (to 48.10%)
- A 5.5% to 6.3% increase in graphite purity (to 73.0%)
- Maintained high graphite recovery at ~97%
- Consistent oxide purity at ~90%
- Stable flotation time of 5-7 minutes
The technology addresses a key challenge in battery recycling by effectively separating oxides from graphite, particularly dealing with a rubber-like coating found on black mass samples. The company continues to optimize the process through additional controlled trials with different solvent dilutions and multi-stage flotation processes.
Battery X Metals (BATXF) has announced the delivery of Prototype 2.0, its second-generation lithium-ion battery rebalancing machine, marking a significant milestone for its subsidiary Battery X Rebalancing Technologies. The new prototype features advanced diagnostics, next-generation rebalancing technology, and a more compact design, aimed at extending EV battery lifespan and reducing replacement costs.
The company plans to showcase Prototype 2.0 at an exclusive live investor reveal event in May 2025, where they will demonstrate core functions and present their development roadmap. Developed in collaboration with Beijing Pengneng Science & Technology Ltd., the system includes supporting equipment such as a multi-function battery diagnostic device, system interface tablets, a battery pack lift, and insulated tool kits.
Battery X Metals (BATXF) has entered into a strategic joint venture with TerraDX to launch AI-powered exploration for battery metals in Nevada. The binding MOU, effective April 16, 2025, establishes a 50/50 joint venture framework focused on discovering lithium, cobalt, graphite, and other battery metals.
The venture will leverage TerraDX's proprietary AI model to analyze geological datasets and identify high-probability mineral targets. Initial budgets are estimated at $50,000-$100,000 for claims acquisition and another $50,000-$100,000 for early-stage exploration activities.
The partnership aligns with Battery X Metals' 360° strategy across the battery metals sector, which includes exploration, recovery technologies development, and battery lifespan extension. Nevada was selected for hosting approximately 85% of U.S. known lithium deposits and being the sole domestic lithium producer in 2023.
Battery X Metals (BATXF) has filed two provisional patent applications with the USPTO for its lithium-ion battery rebalancing technology. The first patent addresses battery cell imbalance issues through smart monitoring and adjustment systems, while the second introduces a simplified two-wire charging and voltage detection method.
The company's technology has been validated by the National Research Council of Canada, demonstrating its ability to recover nearly all capacity lost due to cell imbalance. A next-generation rebalancing unit, Prototype 2.0, is under development with enhanced capabilities, targeted for completion by end of April 2025.
The company has rebranded its wholly-owned subsidiary to Battery X Rebalancing Technologies Inc. This technology addresses a growing market need, as nearly 40 million electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid vehicles worldwide are projected to be out of warranty by 2031, facing battery degradation and replacement challenges.
Battery X Metals (BATXF) has announced two strategic developments: the formation of a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Battery X Discoveries Inc., and the expansion of its mineral claims portfolio in Quebec.
The newly formed subsidiary, established on April 3, 2025, will focus on identifying, acquiring, and advancing critical battery metal exploration across North America. The initiative aims to secure essential battery materials including lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, and manganese to support North American supply chains.
Additionally, on April 9, 2025, the company amended its January 11, 2024 agreement with 1303812 B.C. to acquire 39 additional mineral claims near its Reservoir Dozois Project in Abitibi, Quebec. These claims were originally omitted from the initial agreement and were transferred at no additional cost, bringing the total number of active mineral claims to 47.
Battery X Metals (BATXF) has announced significant breakthroughs in graphite recovery from lithium-ion batteries through laboratory tests conducted with a Global Top 20 University. The company achieved a 97% graphite recovery rate, a substantial improvement from previous ~40% recovery rates using solvent pre-washing methods.
Key improvements include:
- Increased graphite purity to ~69% (up from 55-59%)
- Reduced flotation time to 5-7 minutes (down from 13-19 minutes)
- Enhanced separation efficiency with minimal metal oxide contamination
The tests were conducted using unoxidized 500g NMC-dominant black mass samples with Denver Cell flotation devices. The company's eco-friendly flotation process demonstrated superior performance compared to conventional methods, particularly in concentrate and tailings management. Battery X Metals is now focusing on further process refinements to maximize both graphite and metal oxide recovery.
