About BatteryCentr
On a mission to retain the maximum value of every end-of-life battery.
Keep batteries — and their value — in use
Many lithium-ion batteries reach the end of their first life with significant usable capacity still inside.
BatteryCentr tests, grades and routes those batteries responsibly, recycling only what truly can't be reused.
Often the work starts earlier than that — with a company that simply doesn't know what its end-of-life batteries are worth or what the law expects of it. Answering that is a service in its own right: battery consulting.
The goal is to become a trusted European handler for partners across the second-life battery chain.
Built on deep battery-industry expertise
BatteryCentr was founded by Hidde Huijssoon, with hands-on experience and a network spanning sourcing, logistics, testing, grading and value recovery.
That end-to-end perspective helps BatteryCentr retain value where others lose it and gives partners one accountable point of contact. It is also what companies draw on when they engage us purely for advice, before any battery changes hands.
Hidde Huijssoon
Founder
Years of experience and a deep network across the battery value chain — collection, logistics, testing and value recovery.
These principles guide every decision we make.
Maximum Value
We recover the highest possible value from every battery through the right value path.
Safety & Compliance
End-of-life batteries are sensitive and regulated. We handle, transport and document them to recognised standards.
Trusted Partnership
We succeed when our partners do. We build transparent relationships with battery holders and specialist network partners.
Standards, applied in practice
Trust in second-life batteries is earned through rigour. We don't treat the frameworks that govern our industry as badges — we build them into how batteries are packed, moved, tested and documented.
Formal certifications are being established as the company becomes operational — contact us for the current status.
UN 38.3
Batteries are verified transport-safe before they move.
ADR
Every road shipment follows European dangerous-goods rules.
IEC 62660
Cell-level test methods inform how each battery is graded.
EU 2023/1542
Documentation is structured for the Battery Passport from day one.
