Summary of Trial Results
As disclosed in the Company's news release dated May 30, 2025, the Trial results (the 'Results') were performed using Prototype 2.0 on the Nissan Leaf Battery Pack, The Nissan Leaf Battery Pack was first charged at 12 amperes using Battery X Rebalancing Technologies' cycling module to simulate a standard electric vehicle charging cycle. Once the first cell reached the voltage target of 4.20 volts (the 'Voltage Target'), a rebalancing current between 0 and 3 amperes was applied individually to the remaining cells until all 96-battery cells successfully reached the Voltage Target. The Voltage Target lies within the standard operating range for LMO and LNO lithium-ion cells of 3.0 volts to 4.20 volts, with 4.20 volts commonly recognized as the full capacity in the industry¹.
According to the diagnostic report provided by the vendor of the Nissan Leaf Battery Pack (the 'Battery Vendor Diagnostic Report'), the reported measured effective ampere-hour capacity of the Nissan Leaf Battery Pack prior to rebalancing was 50.34 ampere-hours (Ah). This served as the baseline capacity for the Trial. Following the Trial, Prototype 2.0's integrated software determined that 1.95 Ah of additional capacity had been successfully restored. While the Battery Vendor Diagnostic Report did not quantitatively indicate a loss of capacity, it indicated that the Nissan Leaf Battery Pack was operating at 50.34 Ah with minor voltage imbalance that placed the voltage below the Voltage Target. Rebalancing the cells to the Voltage Target achieved a 3.9 percent improvement in usable capacity.
The restored 1.95 Ah corresponds to the full theoretical rebalancing increase based on the Voltage Target achieved, and represents full recovery of the minor voltage imbalance indicated on the Battery Vendor Diagnostic Report. These results were determined by the Trial based on achieving the Voltage Target across all 96-battery cells, along with a software feature of Prototype 2.0 that shows the ampere-hours (Ah) capacity restored through rebalancing for each individual cell, with the largest discrepancy being 1.95 Ah, based on the Voltage Target. Battery X Rebalancing Technologies interprets this result as confirmation of Prototype 2.0's ability to restore all imbalance-induced lost capacity through precise voltage alignment and battery-cell level rebalancing.
Results
Battery X Rebalancing Technologies views this successful demonstration as a critical step in the technology validation process, paving the way for expanded testing, operational protocol development, and eventual commercial deployment.

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 20232. With cumulative global EV sales from 2015 to 2023 totaling an estimated over 40 million units3, a significant share of the global EV fleet is expected to exit warranty coverage over the coming years.
By 2031, nearly 40 million electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid vehicles worldwide are anticipated to fall outside of their original warranty coverage4,5. 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 requirements6. 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, 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.

3 Reasons XPO Stock Could Take Off in the Second Half of the Year
Key Points XPO beat estimates on the top and bottom lines in its second-quarter report. After an earlier investment cycle, management expects capex as a percentage of revenue to start to decline. XPO was the only one of the three major LTL carriers to improve its operating ratio in the quarter. 10 stocks we like better than XPO › The stock of XPO (NYSE: XPO) was one of the biggest winners of the last decade, and the less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier has continued in recent years, as the stock has quadrupled since early 2023. Those gains followed the spinoff of both GXO Logistics and RXO, its former truck brokerage division. Like its peers including Old Dominion Freight Lines and Saia, XPO continues to face headwinds from a "freight recession" that has lasted for about two to three years as manufacturing activity and industrial production have mostly contracted during that time. Nonetheless, the carrier has found new ways to grow its bottom line and improve margins, and those trends were on display in its second-quarter earnings report. XPO clears the Wall Street bar In a difficult macro environment, XPO reported flat revenue at $2.08 billion, which topped estimates at $2.05 billion. Revenue in the core North American LTL business (carriers that specialize in transporting smaller shipments that don't require a full truckload) was down 2.5% to $1.24 billion, while its European Transportation segment rose 4.1% to $841 million. Tonnage was down 6.7% per day, but the company made up for the decline in volume with an increase in yield (or price) of 6.1%, excluding fuel. Price increases were driven in part by service improvements like reducing damage claims and improved on-time performance that have allowed the company to raise prices. And it has found growth in the local market, serving small to medium-size businesses in need of local transportation. XPO was the only one of the three top LTL carriers to improve its adjusted operating ratio, which is the inverse of operating margin, in North America, which fell 30 basis points to 82.9% (a lower ratio is an indication of higher efficiency). Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) were essentially flat, falling from $343 million to $340 million, while adjusted earnings per share (EPS) fell from $1.12 to $1.05 as it lapped a tax benefit from the year before. That result still beat the consensus at $0.99. Investors seemed to shrug off the news as the stock was down slightly following the results and the earnings call, but XPO could please investors in the back half of the year. Let's take a look at a few reasons why. 1. Share buybacks are set to resume Historically, share repurchases have been a key tool for XPO to generate shareholder value, and it has deployed them effectively. The company began repurchasing its stock again in the second quarter, buying back a modest $10 million, and chief strategy officer Ali Faghri said in an interview with The Motley Fool that he expected those repurchases to pick up in the second half of the year, the time of year when it brings in the vast majority of its free cash flow due to the seasonality of its capital expenditures (capex). After years of ramping up capex to invest in new tractors, trailers, and terminals, the company expects capex as a percentage of revenue to start to decline, freeing up cash to invest in share repurchases and paying down debt. Both of those moves should help lift EPS as debt reduction will lower its interest expense, which ate up more than a quarter of operating income in the second quarter, and lowering shares outstanding will boost per-share earnings even if net income remains flat. 2. Nearshoring could drive growth in the industrial economy Growth in the LTL sector and for XPO in particular is closely tied to manufacturing activity in the country, and according to the ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), manufacturing activity has been declining for most of the last three years. It's unclear if trade negotiations have had an impact so far on XPO's business, but Faghri was optimistic that the new round of tariffs could help encourage nearshoring, or the return of manufacturing to the U.S., which would be a boon to XPO since two-thirds of its business comes from industrial customers. More U.S manufacturing would drive demand for LTL transportation, and could fuel a boom in the industry after years of stagnation. 3. Its local business is accelerating Despite the overall headwinds in tonnage, XPO is finding growth in the local channel, where a combination of investing in a local sales force and improvement in service quality through lower damage claims and improved on-time percentages have helped it attract more local business. That segment grew by high single digits in the second quarter, according to Faghri. That's also a key strategic initiative for the company since those tend to be higher-margin customers. Over the longer term, XPO aims to grow its share of revenue from the local channel from 20% to 30%. That figure is now in the low-to-mid 20% range, indicating more runway ahead as it grabs market share in that segment. Overall, XPO remains on track to achieve the 2027 goals it announced in 2021, which include compound annual revenue growth of 6% to 8%, compound annual adjusted EBITDA growth of 11% to 13%, and a 600-basis-point decline in adjusted operating ratio, meaning it would improve to 81%. With three potential growth drivers for the second half of the year, XPO appears to be in position to deliver strong results for investors, even as the broader freight market is still weak.

Could Opendoor Technologies Be a Millionaire-Maker Stock?
Key Points Opendoor Technologies buys houses with the hope of flipping them to sell at higher prices. The stock has caught fire lately, as investors seem to be going back to the meme stock mentality that existed a few years ago. Opendoor's business isn't performing particularly well, though it's improving. 10 stocks we like better than Opendoor Technologies › Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) operates an interesting housing-related business. There are reasons to like the stock if you are an aggressive investor. But there are also some very big reasons to be cautious. Before you buy Opendoor Technologies thinking it will make you a millionaire, you'll want to dig a bit deeper into the company's story. What does Opendoor Technologies do? From a simple perspective, Opendoor is a house flipper. It steps in to quickly buy homes in whatever condition they are in, easing the process for home sellers. Then Opendoor fixes up the houses it buys and sells them, hopefully at a higher price than what it paid. It uses a proprietary computer algorithm to help it select which houses to buy, and where, in 50 or so markets. House flipping is not new. It has been done by small investors for years, often with the investors having the skills to fix up the homes they buy. Opendoor is basically trying to take this business and scale it up. Given the unique nature of every home, that's a large and complex task. The company has achieved a great deal of success from an operational perspective, building out a platform for buying and selling homes and a network of professionals to manage and upgrade the homes it buys. What it has not achieved yet are sustainable profits. There are some inherent headwinds to that, given that property markets tend to be seasonal. Homebuying tends to take place most often in the spring and summer, which leaves the fall and winter with less transaction volume. Even if Opendoor manages to become profitable, investors need to be prepared for big profit swings throughout the year. And that means that a lot will ride on the success of the selling season every single year. What about the stock's massive price spike So the huge price spike that just occurred in Opendoor's stock must indicate something positive about the business, right? Not really. It seems like there has been a return of the meme stock hysteria that occurred a few years ago. In fact, the company had recently received a warning that its stock might be de-listed because it had fallen to such a low price level. Management had even gone so far as to schedule a special meeting to seek shareholder approval for a reverse stock split. That changes nothing about the business, but it raises the price of the shares because it reduces the number of shares outstanding. Often, however, a company's stock price will keep falling after a reverse split because the business remains the same. And in Opendoor's situation, the business is still unprofitable. The company has put the reverse stock split on pause for now, given the steep price advance. But investors looking at this situation need to tread with particular caution. Right now it looks more like investors are gambling with Opendoor stock than investing in the business. The stock could absolutely go higher from here, but it could also fall dramatically and quickly if meme stock investors move on to a new investment. At the end of the day, it remains an upstart business in a seasonal industry trying, and so far struggling, to become sustainably profitable. That's not a compelling story for a long-term investor. Opendoor is probably not your ticket to millionaire status There are likely to be people who make a lot of money gambling on Opendoor's stock. That's not the same thing as investing, however. And the risk of playing the meme stock game is that you end up being the last one in the door, which means you probably lose money. For investors who want to buy and hold stocks to build wealth over time, Opendoor is best avoided right now. In fact, until the business manages to become sustainably profitable, it probably only deserves to be on your watch list. Do the experts think Opendoor Technologies is a buy right now? The Motley Fool's expert analyst team, drawing on years of investing experience and deep analysis of thousands of stocks, leverages our proprietary Moneyball AI investing database to uncover top opportunities. They've just revealed their to buy now — did Opendoor Technologies make the list? When our Stock Advisor analyst team has a stock recommendation, it can pay to listen.
