As of 1/1/24, BEBAT contribution on all lithium batteries >20kg

Since 1/1/2022 we have been required to charge an environmental contribution of €2.39/kg on lithium-ion batteries when they are used for an ESS system. As of 1/1/2024, this obligation is being extended to cover all lithium batteries >20kg. Therefore this cost will henceforth be charged on the batteries of Victron Energy and MG Energy Systems as well.
The Bebat cost is always stated separately on the invoice so that you can clearly prove that you paid it. 

These contributions to Bebat are applied to support the battery recycling process and ensure that used batteries are collected and processed in a responsible manner. In this way we are contributing to a circular economy and the environmental impact is minimised as much as possible.
