Among the most advanced batteries available today are certain lithium-ion batteries. They play a crucial role in energy storage, and in powering modern technologies. Because they work better than other batteries, lithium batteries are quite common. They feature a great coulombic efficiency, a fast discharge power, and a high energy density. Their extended service life is also notable. For many uses, including portable devices and battery-energy storage systems (BESSs) for both home and business use, lithium batteries are now absolutely essential.
Lithium Battery Pricing in 2024
The price of lithium battery is usually determined by their energy capacity. This is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh). In 2024, for example, the price of a 5-kWh lithium battery will be approximately Rs.1,15,000. It is available in a specification 100Ah/51.22V. Here is a list with some models and prices.
- CAML 100Ah, 51.2V / 5.12kW – ₹1,15,000
- CAML 100Ah, 48V / 5kWh – ₹1,08,000
The price gap between lead-acid and lithium batteries is expected to close within the next 2 years. The cost of lithium batteries will become more comparable as production increases and technology improves.
Differences Between Lithium and Lead-Acid Batteries
Lead-acid battery, an older technology that uses lead plates immersed in sulfuric acid to generate electricity, is a relatively newer invention. These rechargeable batteries are commonly used in cars and trucks. The affordability of lead-acid batteries is well known, but there are some drawbacks, including shorter life spans and heavier weight.
Although the initial cost of lithium batteries may be higher, they are a more efficient investment in the long run due to their long term value. Technologist and energy experts are increasingly recommending lithium batteries because of their greater energy density and longer operational life.
CAML 100Ah, 51.2V / 5.12kW LiFePO4 Battery
CaML 100Ah 51.2V/5.12kW LiFePO4 Battery is one of the most popular models on the market. This wall-mounted lithium battery is perfect for commercial, industrial, and residential applications. It provides a high-performance solution. This model has several key benefits, including:
- Fast Charging: Fully charges within 2-3 hours.
- Long Life: Offers a 6,000-cycle lifespan, equating to 10-15 years of use.
