Battery X completes 3-D scan of Tesla Model 3 battery

Executive Summary

• Battery X Metals Inc. has completed a high-resolution 3D scan of a Tesla Model 3 battery pack to advance its patent-pending lithium-ion battery rebalancing technology and develop platform compatibility for the top-selling EV brand in the U.S.
• The scan provides critical geometric and structural data to digitally model the battery interface and inform the engineering of custom connectors and adaptors for the company's rebalancing hardware.
• The company's proprietary rebalancing technology, previously validated by the National Research Council of Canada, demonstrated the ability to recover approximately 99% of lost battery capacity caused by cell imbalances.

Key Details

• Completed high-resolution 3D scan of a Tesla Model 3 battery pack obtained at no cost from an arm's-length automotive service centre collaboration partner.
• Scan data will be used to digitally model the battery interface and guide the design of custom connector and adaptor solutions for the rebalancing platform.
• Digital dataset will be transferred to development partner Beijing Pengneng Science & Technology Ltd. for further engineering work focused on adaptor and connector design.
• Development focuses on the second-generation rebalancing system, with a long-term strategy to expand compatibility across additional high-volume electric vehicle platforms.
• NRC Validation Results: Tested on a module of 15 72-ampere-hour LiFePO4 cells; after artificially imbalancing three cells (reducing discharge capacity by ~35% to 46.24 Ah), the technology restored capacity to 70.94 Ah, recovering ~99% of the lost capacity.
• Market Context: Tesla held ~45% of U.S. EV sales in 2024, with ~2.63 million Model 3 cumulative sales by Q3 2024. By 2031, nearly 40 million EVs globally are projected to fall outside original warranty coverage, driving demand for battery life extension and diagnostics solutions.
• Technology aims to correct cell-level imbalances to extend battery useful life, reduce replacement costs, and support sustainable EV ownership, though the company notes no assurance that compatibility or commercialization will be achieved.
