VANCOUVER, British Columbia – October 24, 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 company, announces that, further to the trial described
in its news release dated July 25, 2025 (the “Initial Performance Trial”), its wholly-owned subsidiary
Battery X Rebalancing Technologies Inc. (“Battery X Rebalancing Technologies”) has completed a follow-
up validation assessment (the “Validation Assessment”) of the Class 3 electric truck (the “Electric Truck”)
that previously underwent a targeted cell-replacement intervention (the “Intervention”) and partial
rebalancing procedure (“Rebalancing”) using Battery X Rebalancing Technologies’ patent-pending
second-generation lithium-ion battery rebalancing hardware and software system (the “Rebalancing
Machine”).
Validation Assessment Results
After approximately four months and more than 2,000 kilometers of operation, the Electric Truck
continues to demonstrate promising and stable range performance. When evaluated under the same
parameters as the Initial Performance Trial, which reported an estimated range of approximately 265
kilometers (the “Initial Performance Trial Estimated Range”) and a pre-Intervention and Rebalancing
effective driving range of approximately 40 kilometers per charge (the “Pre-Rebalancing Effective Driving
Range”), the Electric Truck continues to perform within that range expectation, reflecting an estimated
range of approximately 250 kilometers when calculated using the same parameters as the Initial
Performance Trial. Additional data gathered under the expanded Validation Assessment parameters show
that the vehicle achieved an observed estimated weighted effective driving range per charge (the
“Validation Assessment Effective Driving Range”) of approximately 220 kilometers in preliminary trials
(the “Results”). The Results confirm that the estimated driving range improvement achieved through the
Intervention and Rebalancing has been sustained over time with only minor range variance and that the
rebalanced battery pack continues to perform reliably and efficiently under extended real-world use.
The Initial Performance Trial Estimated Range represents the projected driving distance calculated by
extrapolating the observed energy-use rate across the full usable State of Charge (“SOC”) range. The Initial
Performance Trial utilized approximately 17% of the battery’s SOC to drive 45.1 kilometers, resulting in
an extrapolated estimated range of approximately 265 kilometers (the “Initial Performance Trial
Estimated Range”), as disclosed in the Initial Performance Trial.
For the Validation Assessment, a series of individual real-world range evaluations were conducted, being
Validation Assessment Trial 1 (“Trial 1 ”), Validation Assessment Trial 2 (“Trial 2 ”), and Validation
Assessment (“Trial 3”, and together with Trial 1 and Trial 2, the “Battery Performance Trials”). Each Trial
measured the distance driven, SOC utilized, and the corresponding estimated full -charge range to
evaluate post-Rebalancing performance and energy efficiency across different SOC levels.
Validation Assessment Trial 1 was conducted under similar SOC parameters as the Initial Performance
Trial, and utilized approximately 44% of the available SOC to drive 109.9 kilometers, corresponding to an
extrapolated full-battery range of approximately 250 kilometers. The strong correlation between these
Trial 1 results and the Initial Performance Trial Estimated Range confirms that the Electric Truck’s
rebalanced battery pack continued to maintain a sustained Initial Performance Trial Estimated Range of
approximately 250 kilometers, validating that the performance improvement achieved through the
Intervention and Rebalancing has been preserved over time, with only minor range variance.
Trial 1 and Trial 2 expanded the dataset to cover mid- and lower-SOC operating ranges that were not
assessed during the Initial Performance Trial. These additional SOC ranges reflect normal efficiency
variations observed at different charge levels. When aggregated, all trials represent approximately 92%
of total SOC utilization, providing a comprehensive real-world performance interpretation.
The extrapolated weighted average of the Battery Performance Trials assuming 100% SOC utilization
corresponds to an estimated full-charge range of approximately 220 kilometers, representing the
effective real-world range observed after more than four months and 2,000 kilometers of operation.
The Results from the Battery Performance Trials reflect normal variation in range performance correlated
to differences in SOC observed during the Trials. This variance simply indicates that range can fluctuate
slightly depending on the battery’s charge level at the time of measurement.
When considered together, the Results demonstrate that the Electric Truck continues to deliver
comparable overall driving distance to that observed in the Initial Performance Trial, confirming that the
performance improvement achieved through the Intervention and Rebalancing has been maintained over
time, with minimal range variance. The Results further indicate continued energy recovery and reliability
in a previously degraded battery pack with identified defective cells. In practical terms, the Electric Truck
continues to perform comparably to its post-Intervention and Rebalancing performance, maintaining
more than five times its Pre-Rebalancing Effective Driving Range after approximately four months of
continued operation. The Results highlight the Rebalancing Machine’s potential to extend remaining
useful battery lifespan, enhance energy utilization, and reduce the significant costs associated with
premature battery replacement for electric-vehicle owners and fleet operators.

The Validation Assessment confirmed that the Electric Truck’s rebalanced battery pack maintained a range
of approximately 250 kilometers in Trial 1, nearly consistent with the range achieved in the Initial
Performance Trial of approximately 265 kilometers. The measured odometer data verified a post-
Rebalancing estimated Validation Assessment Effective Driving Range of approximately 220 kilometers
per charge, demonstrating that the improvement achieved through the Intervention and Rebalancing has
been sustained after approximately four months and more than 2,000 kilometers of operation, with only
minor range variance.
Prior to the Intervention and Rebalancing, the Electric Truck exhibited a Pre-Rebalancing Effective Driving
Range of approximately 40 kilometers per charge, limited by a defective cell that caused premature
vehicle shutdown below 60% SOC. The Results observed in the Validation Assessment demonstrate the
sustained substantial recovery of usable capacity and range in a previously degraded and effectively
inoperable battery pack.
Interpretation and Significance of Results
The Validation Assessment indicates that the Electric Truck’s battery pack continues to operate within
stable voltage and capacity tolerances following the Rebalancing Machine’s Intervention and Rebalancing.
The refined range calculation provides a more accurate reflection of real-world driving conditions and
suggests that the performance gains achieved through the Intervention and Rebalancing have been
maintained over time, with only minor range variance.
Performance observed after more than 2,000 kilometers of post-Rebalancing driving represents a positive
early indicator of the system’s durability and diagnostic precision. While additional data collection and
longer-term testing will be required to confirm reliability with greater certainty, the Results support the
Rebalancing Machine’s potential to deliver sustained performance recovery and range stability in
previously degraded battery packs, reinforcing its future scalability across fleet, logistics, and commercial
electric-vehicle markets.
“The Validation Assessment provides an encouraging early indication of durability and performance
retention, “said Massimo Bellini Bressi, Chief Executive Officer of Battery X Metals Inc. “After
approximately four months of operation and over 2,000 kilometers of driving, the Electric Truck continues
to demonstrate measurable performance retention following Rebalancing. While longer-term validation
is still underway, these Results strengthen our confidence in the Rebalancing Machine’s potential to
extend remaining useful battery lifespan and recover usable capacity.”
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 2023.1
With cumulative global EV sales from 2015 to 2023 totaling an estimated over 40 million units, 2 a
significant share of the global EV fleet is expected to exit warranty coverage over the coming years. 3,4
By 2031, nearly 40 million electric, plug -in hybrid, and hybrid vehicles worldwide are anticipated to fall
outside of their original warranty coverage.3,4 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.5 As the global EV fleet continues to
expand, the demand for technologies that extend battery life, reduce long -term ownership costs, an d
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, following rebalancing using Battery X
Rebalancing Technologies’ rebalancing technology.
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.
The Results disclosed herein are based on preliminary trial conditions and may not be representative of
all vehicle models or usage scenarios. Results may vary depending on vehicle type, battery type and
condition, driving behavior, usage, and operating environment.
