**VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 6, 2025** / Battery X Metals Inc. (CSE:BATX)(OTCQB:BATXF)(FSE:5YW, WKN:A40X9W) (“Battery X Metals” or the “Company”), an energy transition resource exploration and technology firm, announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies Inc. (“Battery X Rebalancing Technologies”), has expanded the functionality of its next-generation lithium-ion battery rebalancing hardware and software platform to include a fully electric, Class 3 commercial electric vehicle (the “Electric Truck”). Successful preliminary trial results (the “Trial”) were achieved on a battery pack containing 144 battery cells, which showed significant natural imbalance due to real-world conditions. The results demonstrated **100% recovery** of imbalance-related capacity loss and a **37.7% increase** in the Rated Capacity of the Electric Truck’s battery pack, which is comprised of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) materials (the “Electric Truck Battery Pack”).

The Trial results (the “Results”) were conducted using Battery X Rebalancing Technologies’ second-generation, patent-pending battery rebalancing machine (“Prototype 2.0”) on the Electric Truck Battery Pack, which has a rated full capacity of **176 ampere-hours (Ah)** (the “Rated Capacity”) as indicated on the nameplate attached to the Electric Truck Battery Pack.

Initially, the Electric Truck Battery Pack was fully charged using a J1772 (Type 1) AC charging port, delivering **40 amperes (A)** of current. This Level 2 AC charging step, consistent with North American EV standards, was managed by the vehicle’s onboard systems. Once the dashboard indicated a **100 percent state of charge** and the charger application showed that the vehicle was no longer requesting current, Prototype 2.0 commenced its patent-pending battery rebalancing process. A rebalancing current between **0 and 3 amperes** was then applied individually to each of the battery cells, charging them simultaneously to a target voltage of **4.20 volts** (the “Voltage Target”). This Voltage Target is within the standard operating range for NMC lithium-ion cells (3.0V to 4.20V), with **4.20V** widely recognized as full capacity in the industry.

The Results indicate that **66.3 Ah** of capacity, previously lost due to battery-cell imbalance, was successfully restored on the Electric Truck Battery Pack. This accounts for approximately **37.7%** of the Rated Capacity of the unbalanced Electric Truck Battery Pack. The restored capacity reflects the full theoretical rebalancing potential based on achieving the Voltage Target across all cells and indicates complete recovery of the significant imbalance identified. These results were validated using Prototype 2.0’s integrated software, which measures ampere-hour capacity restored through rebalancing on a per-cell basis. The software also noted the maximum individual cell discrepancy to be **66.3 Ah** relative to the Rated Capacity.

Battery X Rebalancing Technologies interprets these Results as confirmation of Prototype 2.0’s capability to recover significant imbalance-induced battery-cell capacity loss through precise voltage alignment and active cell-level rebalancing.

The development of expanded functionality for the Electric Truck builds on prior advancements by Battery X Rebalancing Technologies, as disclosed in the Company’s news release dated May 9, 2025. This announcement detailed a non-commercial collaborative services agreement (the “Factor E Agreement”) with Factor E Motors Ltd., a Vancouver-based automotive service center specializing in out-of-warranty Tesla vehicles. The Factor E Agreement aims to support the ongoing development of Prototype 2.0, with a focus on Tesla Model 3 and Model X battery packs held by Factor E Motors.

Further progress was disclosed in the Company’s news releases dated May 23, 2025, and May 30, 2025, highlighting the expansion of Prototype 2.0’s development to include Nissan Leaf battery packs, confirming the successful rebalancing of a naturally imbalanced Nissan Leaf battery pack. This milestone validates Prototype 2.0’s compatibility with the second most common out-of-warranty electric vehicle model in the United States.

Together, these initiatives demonstrate Battery X Rebalancing Technologies’ commitment to showcasing the adaptability of its technology across various real-world electric vehicle platforms, highlighting the increasing demand for practical, cost-effective battery reconditioning solutions.

**Significance of Results & Market Opportunity for the Electric Truck:**

The Results from the Trial demonstrate that Prototype 2.0 can effectively rebalance lithium-ion battery packs exhibiting significant, naturally occurring battery cell imbalance. This successful outcome builds upon the prior validation of Battery X Rebalancing Technologies’ patent-pending rebalancing technology, including independent validation by the National Research Council of Canada, as detailed below, and the Company’s previously disclosed news release dated May 30, 2025, announcing the successful rebalancing of a naturally imbalanced Nissan Leaf battery pack.

Importantly, the Results not only confirm the technical functionality of Prototype 2.0 within a real-world electric vehicle platform but also emphasize its potential to restore substantial lost capacity—an outcome that aligns with the increasing demand for practical, cost-effective battery recovery solutions. The Electric Truck Trial reinforces the relevance of Battery X Rebalancing Technologies’ patent-pending Prototype 2.0 in real-world environments and reveals a broader opportunity to extend the useful lifespan of aging electric vehicle battery packs.

The Electric Truck and Electric Truck Battery Pack were provided at no cost to Battery X Rebalancing Technologies for testing and validation by an authorized Canadian distributor of the Electric Truck (the “Distributor”), which owns a fleet of approximately **20 Electric Trucks** (the “Electric Truck Fleet”). Several vehicles within this fleet have reportedly experienced significant capacity degradation due to battery cell imbalance. The expanded functionality development and subsequent Trial were initiated in response to the Distributor’s interest in finding a viable alternative to full battery replacement, which can be prohibitively expensive.

The Trial aimed to assess whether Prototype 2.0 could successfully rebalance a battery pack from the Electric Truck Fleet. The positive Results are expected to guide ongoing discussions with the Distributor regarding the potential deployment of Prototype 2.0 across its broader fleet to restore and extend battery life while mitigating potentially costly battery replacements.

Additionally, the Company has been informed by the Distributor that approximately **700 Electric Trucks** are currently deployed across Canada, owned by a mix of the Electric Truck’s parent company, authorized dealers, commercial fleet operators, and private fleet owners.
