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.
The goal is to become a trusted European handler for partners across the second-life battery chain.
Built on deep battery-industry expertise
BatteryCentr is 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.
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 BatteryCentr becomes operational — contact us for the current status.
UN 38.3
