In a subsequent Preliminary Trial, as disclosed in the Company’s news release dated June 6, 2025,
Prototype 2.0 was tested on a significantly imbalanced 144-cell battery pack from a fully electric Class 3
commercial vehicle (the “ Electric Truck ”). The Preliminary Trial was conducted on a battery pack
exhibiting significant real-world imbalance and resulted in the recovery of 66.3 ampere-hours,
representing a 37.7% recovery of the Rated Capacity, and 100% recovery of imbalance-induced capacity
loss. The Electric Truck Preliminary Trial demonstrated the robustness of the technology under more
demanding conditions and expanded Prototype 2.0’s proven applicability to commercial vehicle
platforms.
“The trials are confirming exactly what we filed with the USPTO,” said Massimo Bellini Bressi, CEO of
Battery X Metals. “To see both passenger and commercial electric vehicle battery platforms respond with
full imbalance-related capacity recovery proves our technological innovations work—and it works where
it matters most: in real-world environments with real-world degradation caused by battery cell
imbalance.”
Prototype 2.0
Together, these initiatives underscore Battery X Rebalancing Technologies’ commitment to
demonstrating the adaptability, precision, and commercial readiness of its rebalancing platform across a

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

What is Battery Rebalancing?
Patent Applications
6
Battery X Rebalancing Technologies’ first patent application, method and system for battery pack
adjustment, introduces a novel solution to address the common issue of imbalanced battery cells within
a battery pack—an issue that leads to reduced capacity, safety concerns, and shortened lifespan. In most
battery packs, cells charge and discharge at different rates due to variations in manufacturing, internal
resistance, and temperature, which causes some cells to reach full charge or depletion before others. As
a result, traditional battery management systems (BMS) cut off charging or discharging based on the
weakest cell, wasting the remaining potential of other cells. This invention solves that problem through a
smart system that continuously monitors and adjusts the state of charge (SOC) of each group of cells
(referred to as “strings”). The system includes a display controller (which manages operations), a charger
and discharger (handling overall energy flow), and an equalizer (which precisely adjusts each string). By
allocating charge and discharge intelligently across the cells, the system ensures they all reach full capacity
and deplete evenly, thereby maximizing usable energy, detecting early signs of degradation, enhancing
safety, and extending the overall life of the battery pack.
The second patent application, for two-wire charging and remote voltage detection, presents a
streamlined method to charge a battery and measure its voltage using only two wires—significantly
reducing system complexity and hardware costs. In conventional battery systems, separate wires or
sensors are typically required to monitor voltage during charging, which adds material costs and design
challenges, especially in large-scale applications like electric vehicles or grid storage. This invention enables
both functions over the same wire pair by briefly pausing the charge current, opening a switch, and using
that moment to measure the battery’s voltage through the same lines. A pulse isolation drive circuit is
used to manage this operation safely and reliably, even when voltage levels are floating or unstable. The
result is a simplified yet highly accurate system that maintains the integrity of voltage readings while
eliminating the need for redundant hardware. This two-wire approach offers a more efficient and cost-
effective solution for modern battery systems that demand reliability, safety, and scalability.
