Technical FAQs 4

Why are lithium batteries cheaper than lead-acid batteries?

We note that despite the higher facial cost of Lithium technology, the cost per stored and supplied kWh remains much lower than for Lead-Acid technology. The reason is related to the intrinsic qualities of lithium-ion batteries but also linked to lower transportation costs.

Are lead-acid batteries a better deal?

Here’s why many people think lead-acid batteries are a better deal: You get ~20 kWh of capacity for around $5,000 with typical deep-cycle marine-grade or AGM lead-acid batteries, but say, only ~10 kWh for around $4,000 with high-quality lithium ones. But we must look beyond the nominal dollar per kWh. All batteries die.

Are lithium batteries more expensive than lead-acid batteries for off-grid solar solutions?

Many think lithium batteries are more expensive than lead-acid ones for off-grid solar solutions. But is that really true? We use lithium batteries in all our solutions because of their performance, longevity, and lower cost. So let’s do the math to see why this chemistry is the most cost-effective.

Why is a Bess battery so expensive?

Let’s dive into these key factors: The battery is the heart of any BESS. The type of battery—whether lithium-ion, lead-acid, or flow batteries—significantly impacts the overall cost. Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular due to their high energy density, efficiency, and long life cycle. However, they are also more expensive than other types.
