Dutch Innovation Extends Home Battery Lifespan, Boosts Energy Storage
Netherlands, Friday, 25 April 2025.
The Dutch company Qurmit has developed a revolutionary charging technique that doubles home battery lifespan, enhancing durability and reliability of energy storage across the Netherlands.
Groundbreaking Charging Innovation
The revolutionary charging technique, dubbed ‘Qurmit Booster’, enables batteries to complete up to 9,000 charging and discharging cycles under normal conditions - double the standard capability of conventional models [1]. This breakthrough comes from TSS4U, Qurmit’s parent company, leveraging over 25 years of battery development expertise [1]. Company founder Jan-Willem Linsen emphasizes that this technology not only extends battery life but also offers cost advantages to consumers [1].
Sustainable Manufacturing and Recycling
The company’s commitment to sustainability is evident in their manufacturing process. All Qurmit batteries are produced in the Netherlands, incorporating more than 50 percent recycled materials and achieving a remarkable 95 percent recyclability rate [1]. To encourage responsible disposal, Qurmit offers customers a €600 refund when returning their 17-kilowatt-hour models [2].
Scalable Solutions for Various Energy Needs
Qurmit’s product range extends from residential to commercial applications, with home battery capacities ranging from 17 to 42 kilowatt-hours [1]. For business applications, the recently launched Qurmit XL offers substantial capacity of up to 800 kilowatt-hours with 90 kilovoltampere power output [1]. The system’s compatibility with direct solar panel connection enhances charging efficiency [2].
Economic Benefits and Energy Independence
When paired with dynamic energy contracts, these home batteries enable users to purchase electricity during low-tariff periods and utilize it during peak pricing, potentially yielding savings of 15 to 25 percent [2]. For solar panel users, the system can generate average annual savings on feed-in costs ranging from €260 to €340 (based on 2500 kWh usage) [2].
