Lithium-ion battery cell price
Average price of battery cells per kilowatt-hour in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation. The data includes an annual average and quarterly average prices of different lithium
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.
For instance, an average lithium iron phosphate battery LFP costs around $560 compared to nickel manganese cobalt oxide ones NMCs costing 20% more. A higher concentration of energy cells is efficient but takes a toll on your pocket. For better usability, it is important to have notable storage capacity in a lighter container.
Amid global carbon neutrality goals, energy storage has become pivotal for the renewable energy transition. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄, LFP) batteries, with their triple advantages of enhanced safety, extended cycle life, and lower costs, are displacing traditional ternary lithium batteries as the preferred choice for energy storage.
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NCM) are two types of rechargeable batteries commonly used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Average price of per in US dollars, not adjusted for inflation.
