Two reasons to get a home battery now
Pick the profile that best matches you, and you'll know right away whether this battery is a fit.
You have solar panels but inefficient storage or none at all
You have solar panels and feed power back during the day for less and less. From 1 January 2027 net metering ends entirely, and storing becomes the norm.
- Covers the evening and night of an average household
- Charges automatically during the day with your solar surplus
You pay premium rates during peak hours
You have a dynamic contract or high evening peaks. The battery charges during cheap hours and discharges exactly when power is expensive.
- Works with dynamic suppliers such as Zonneplan, Tibber and ANWB Energie
- Automatically responds to hourly prices and peak periods
- Also worthwhile without solar panels

Questions about this product
LFP (lithium iron phosphate). We did not take that from the supplier but looked it up per model, in this case in the manufacturer's datasheet. All 333 batteries we sell were checked this way and all 333 are LFP; 15 models were rejected by the same check and withdrawn from sale. LFP is the only chemistry we stock, because it is thermally more stable than the NMC chemistry found in many older home batteries.
10 years. That is exactly the median: of the 314 home batteries we sell that state a term, 258 state 10 years. The term is therefore rarely what separates two batteries, even though comparison sites present it that way. The manufacturer's warranty document is on this page, so you can check the conditions with the party that has to honour them.
Yes. This is a fixed home battery wired into the consumer unit, which in the Netherlands is work for a certified installer. We sell the hardware; on this page you can request a no-obligation installation quote from our installation partner, who emails a fixed total price. You are not obliged to accept it and can have the battery fitted by your own installer.
