Dutch startup Charged has developed a household lithium-ion battery with a storage capacity of 5 kWh. It can be stacked in a six-battery array to reach up to 30 kWh of energy storage capacity. It measures 400mm x 500mm x 200mm and weighs 45kg.
Dutch startup Charged has developed a household lithium iron phosphate battery with a storage capacity of 5 kWh and a nominal power of 2 kW. He built the Sessy battery (Smart Energy Storage System) to market through a crowdfunding campaign.
"The Sessy home AC battery can be stacked in a six-battery array to reach 30 kWh of storage capacity and 12 kW of power," said company co-founder Roeland Nagel. "It can be placed between the inverter of a home PV system and the main fuse box."
The characteristics of the battery
The device measures 400 mm x 500 mm x 200 mm and weighs 45 kg. It has a nominal voltage of 48 V and is equipped with a bidirectional converter which can be connected directly to the network.
"The home battery can connect to Wi-Fi to access the cloud algorithm that provides the optimal discharge strategy to maximize savings and profits from potential energy contracts," Nagel said. "It takes into account solar radiation and forecast consumption, as well as electricity prices, in order to calculate the optimal charging and discharging time."
Its performance battery and of the inverter is about 88% under full load. The product comes with a 10-year warranty and is said to be able to maintain stable functions for over 6.000 cycles.
"Sessy is currently manufactured and designed in the Netherlands," said Nagel. "Production will also take place in the Netherlands, at Charged's facility in Aldelst, in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands."
Founded in 2021 by Pelle Schlichting and Ferry Bosgra. The startup is on a mission to make the transition to clean energy as easy as possible.
