The average price of lithium-ion battery packs is $152/kWh, reflecting a 7% increase since 2021. Energy storage system costs for four-hour duration systems exceed $300/kWh for the first time since 2017. Rising raw material prices, particularly for lithium and nickel, contribute to increased energy storage costs.
Calculate the kWh of your battery using the formula, amp hours x voltage/ 1000. For instance, the kWh for a 12 Ah/ 100V battery will be 1.2kWh. An average lithium battery costs around $139 per kWh in 2024. Learn all about the price trends, battery comparisons, and factors that decide these battery prices.
Battery cost projections for 4-hour lithium-ion systems, with values relative to 2024. The high, mid, and low cost projections developed in this work are shown as bold lines. Published projections are shown as gray lines. Figure values are included in the Appendix.
