In 2025, the typical cost of a commercial lithium battery energy storage system, which includes the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, is in the following range: $280 - $580 per kWh (installed cost), though of course this will vary from region to region depending on economic levels.
By expressing battery system costs in $/kWh, we are deviating from other power generation technologies such as combustion turbines or solar photovoltaic plants where capital costs are usually expressed as $/kW. We use the units of $/kWh because that is the most common way that battery system costs have been expressed in published material to date.
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.
Battery chemistry plays a crucial role in cost. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries are generally more cost-effective and safer compared to Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) batteries. LFP batteries are favored in commercial applications due to their lower cost and higher safety profile.
