URBAN MINING

COLLECTION & THE ROLE OF AI

Our urban mining approach commences with the acquisition and collection of lithium-ion batteries from various sources. The acquired batteries will be tested and sorted for the purposes of either Battery Recycling or Battery Rebalancing.

We intend to employ a proprietary battery health testing and cell rebalancing machine, equipped with a proprietary AI model, to rigorously assess the battery capacity. Batteries identified as no longer functional will be sorted to our battery recycling division, while those with remaining capacity are sorted into our battery repurposing division.

The proprietary AI algorithm boasts 9 patents and is trained on data collected from 300,000+ Electric Vehicles (EVs). The algorithm also analyzes preventive maintenance trends to identify and mitigate battery cell failure. As more data is accumulated from batteries tested and rebalanced in North America, the AI algorithm will continue to evolve, contributing to a more sustainable future.

battery recycling

Battery X Metals aspires to partner with and/or establish a state-of-the-art battery recycling facility, designed to efficiently handle end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. Our comprehensive process will involve discharging, shredding, and the separation of key components, including plastics, graphite, and black mass. Once processed into black mass, we intend to implement our proprietary black mass processing technology, in development with the University of British Columbia.

BATTERY REPURPOSING

Battery X Metals aspires to establish a battery repurposing business vertical powered by a proprietary battery cell rebalancing machine and AI algorithm. This technology evaluates the health of batteries and rebalances the battery cells of those with remaining capacity, enhancing their life span. Through this process, we significantly increase battery capacity, extending their operational life by 2-3 years. These repurposed batteries, will be reintroduced into the supply chain, serving as valuable components in EVs and energy storage systems.
