Battery X Metals, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies Inc., has developed a next-generation, patent-pending lithium-ion battery rebalancing platform (the "Rebalancing Machine") designed to restore usable battery capacity lost through naturally occurring lithium-ion cell imbalance, extend the remaining useful life of electric vehicle ("EV") battery packs, and reduce the need for premature battery replacement. Through a series of real-world performance trials, the Rebalancing Machine has demonstrated measurable improvements in battery capacity utilization, driving range, diagnostic capability, and long-term performance retention across multiple EV platforms, supporting the Company's commercialization strategy.

As disclosed in the Company's news releases dated July 4, July 25 and October 24, 2025, and January 13 and May 22, 2026, the Company completed a series of real-world driving performance trials (each, a "Trial," and collectively, the "Trials") and, in the case of the May 22, 2026 news release, reported the results of lithium-ion battery rebalancing trials conducted by multiple international arm's-length third-party automotive service centres utilizing the Company's patent-pending Rebalancing Machine. Collectively, these Trials evaluated the Rebalancing Machine across progressively broader operating conditions, battery chemistries and electric vehicle platforms.

The initial two Trials evaluated the Rebalancing Machine on severely degraded Class 3 commercial electric vehicles (each, an "Electric Truck") exhibiting significant battery capacity loss resulting from naturally occurring lithium-ion cell imbalance. As disclosed in the Company's July 4, 2025 news release, the first Trial demonstrated the Rebalancing Machine's ability to restore a severely degraded battery pack from a reported estimated driving range of approximately 40 kilometres to an estimated 295 kilometres under no-load conditions following completion of a full battery rebalancing procedure, representing an increase of approximately 255 kilometres, or approximately 637%. Importantly, the restored estimated driving range closely approximated the manufacturer's reported operating range for the platform, demonstrating the technology's ability to recover substantial usable battery capacity without requiring battery pack replacement while supporting a lower-cost battery recovery solution for commercial fleet operators.

As disclosed in the Company's July 25, 2025 news release, the second Trial expanded validation by demonstrating the Rebalancing Machine's integrated battery diagnostic capabilities. During the evaluation, the Rebalancing Machine identified a defective battery cell exhibiting abnormal self-discharge within a parallel-connected cell group that had caused premature vehicle shutdown below approximately 60% state of charge ("SOC"). Following targeted replacement of the affected cell group and completion of a battery rebalancing procedure, the Electric Truck's effective driving range increased from approximately 40 kilometres to an estimated 265 kilometres under no-load conditions, representing an increase of approximately 225 kilometres, or approximately 563%. Beyond the recovery in driving range, the Trial demonstrated the Rebalancing Machine's ability to combine advanced battery diagnostics with targeted corrective intervention, supporting the potential for selective battery repair strategies as an alternative to complete battery pack replacement where appropriate.

As disclosed in the Company's October 24, 2025 news release, the Company subsequently completed a follow-up validation assessment of the second Electric Truck to evaluate the durability of the performance improvements observed during the July 2025 Trial. Following approximately four months and more than 2,000 kilometres of continued real-world operation, the vehicle maintained stable range performance, achieving an estimated driving range of approximately 250 kilometres under comparable testing conditions and a weighted average effective driving range of approximately 220 kilometres per full charge over approximately 92% cumulative state of charge utilization. These results demonstrated that the battery performance improvements achieved through the targeted intervention and rebalancing procedure were substantially maintained over time, supporting the Rebalancing Machine's potential to deliver sustained battery performance recovery and extend the remaining useful life of commercial EV battery packs.

As disclosed in the Company's January 13, 2026 news release, the Company further expanded validation through a real-world performance trial on a light-duty electric vehicle equipped with a severely imbalanced 144-cell lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) battery pack that had become effectively inoperable, exhibiting an estimated pre-rebalancing driving range of approximately 0.1 kilometres per charge. Following completion of a full battery rebalancing procedure, the vehicle achieved an average estimated driving range of approximately 135.9 kilometres per charge under mixed driving conditions. The rebalancing process also materially reduced cell-level voltage variance across the battery pack, demonstrating improved battery pack balance, enhanced utilization of existing battery capacity, and the ability to restore meaningful vehicle operability without replacing battery cells.

Further, as disclosed in the Company's May 22, 2026 news release, the Company announced the results of a series of lithium-ion battery rebalancing trials conducted by multiple international arm's-length third-party automotive service centres on multiple electric vehicle platforms manufactured by BYD Company Limited ("BYD") utilizing the Company's next-generation, patent-pending Rebalancing Machine. The evaluations demonstrated estimated driving range improvements of up to approximately 84 kilometres per charge across BYD Song, Seal and Han vehicle platforms, supporting the repeatability of the Rebalancing Machine across multiple high-volume EV platforms and further demonstrating its commercial applicability within one of the world's largest electric vehicle ecosystems.

The Problem: Rising EV Adoption Presents New Battery Lifecycle Challenges

In 2024, global EV sales reached approximately 17.1 million units, representing a 25% increase from 2023.7 With cumulative global EV sales from 2015 to 2023 totaling an estimated over 40 million units,8 a significant share of the global EV fleet is expected to exit warranty coverage over the coming years. 9,10

By 2031, nearly 40 million electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid vehicles worldwide are anticipated to fall outside of their original warranty coverage.9,10 This projection is based on current EV adoption figures and standard industry warranty terms, and underscores a growing risk for EV owners facing battery degradation, reduced capacity, and costly replacement requirements.11 As the global EV fleet continues to expand, the demand for technologies that extend battery life, reduce long-term ownership costs, and support a sustainable transition to electric mobility is increasing.

The Solution: Pioneering Next-Generation Technologies to Support Lithium-Ion Battery Longevity

Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' proprietary software and hardware technology aims to address this challenge by extending the lifespan of EV batteries. This innovation is being developed with the aim to enhance the sustainability of electric transportation and the goal to provide EV owners with a more cost-effective, environmentally friendly ownership experience by reducing the need for costly battery replacements.

Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' rebalancing technology, validated by the National Research Council of Canada ("NRC"), focuses on battery cell rebalancing. The NRC validation demonstrated the technology's ability to effectively correct cell imbalances in lithium-ion battery packs, recovering nearly all lost capacity due to cell imbalance. The validation was conducted on battery modules composed of fifteen 72Ah LiFePO₄ cells connected in series. The cells were initially balanced to a uniform state of charge (SOC), with a measured discharge capacity of 71.10Ah. In the validation test, three of the fifteen cells were then artificially imbalanced-one cell was charged to a 20% higher SOC, and two cells were discharged to a 20% lower SOC-resulting in a reduced discharge capacity of 46.24Ah, representing a decrease of approximately 35%. Following rebalancing using Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' rebalancing technology, the battery module's discharge capacity was restored to 70.94Ah, representing the recovery of approximately 99% of the capacity lost due to cell imbalance.

These advancements establish Battery X Rebalancing Technologies as a participant in lithium-ion and EV battery solutions, aiming to tackle the critical challenges of capacity degradation of battery packs and expensive replacements. By extending the lifecycle of battery materials within the supply chain, Battery X Rebalancing Technologies aims to support the energy transition and promote a more sustainable future.
