The cost of a battery energy storage system depends on its size, type, and capacity. Below is a general breakdown: Lithium-Ion Batteries: $10,000–$20,000 (including installation). Lead-Acid Batteries: $5,000–$10,000 (cheaper but less efficient). Lithium-Ion Batteries: $50,000–$200,000 or more, depending on system size.
The average cost for sodium-ion cells in 2024 is $87 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), marginally cheaper than lithium-ion cells at $89/kWh.
Maintenance Requirements: Sodium-ion batteries generally have lower maintenance requirements compared to lead-acid and some lithium-ion batteries, reducing the total cost of ownership over their operational lifespan.
