In 2025, the typical cost of commercial lithium battery energy storage systems, including the battery, battery management system (BMS), inverter (PCS), and installation, ranges from $280 to $580 per kWh. Larger systems (100 kWh or more) can cost between $180 to $300 per kWh. How does battery chemistry affect the cost of energy storage systems?
The price is the expected installed capital cost of an energy storage system. Because the capital cost of these systems will vary depending on the power (kW) and energy (kWh) rating of the system, a range of system prices is provided. 2. Evolving System Prices
Consequently, the optimal energy storage configuration is obtained by minimizing the net present cost (NPC), which includes initial investment (IC), operation cost (OPC) and replacement costs (RC), as calculated by Eq. (24). Due to the relatively small impact of system maintenance costs, they are neglected in this study.
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.
