They last far longer than the other options, with a 20- to 30-year lifecycle being common. One factor affecting the lifetime of a battery energy storage system is temperature. Batteries in a hot atmosphere (over 90 degrees F) may overheat, which shortens the lifetime of the battery.
This generally ranges from 3000 to 5000 cycles over a battery life of 10 to 15 years. A lesser-known metric of lifespan, often only specified in the warranty document, is the energy throughput per year in MWh (megawatt hours). There is some debate about which metric is the most critical, which we examine later in this article.
Competing long-duration storage technologies, such as flow batteries and other metal-air batteries, have also attracted billions in investment and government support. Utilities started adding batteries to the US electrical grid dramatically in 2021. Source: US Energy Information Administration.
The storage capacity of lithium (LFP) battery systems is typically measured in kWh (Kilowatt hours), while the most common metric used to determine battery lifespan is the number of charge cycles until a certain amount of energy is lost. This generally ranges from 3000 to 5000 cycles over a battery life of 10 to 15 years.
The batteries work fabulously for discharging a few hours of electricity, but they’re too expensive to dispatch energy for much longer. Now several companies say they have developed cheaper technologies, including flow batteries and metal-air batteries, that promise to unlock long-duration energy storage.
However, they do have constraints to consider, including cyclic life and degradation of effectiveness. All battery-based energy storage systems have a “cyclic life,” or the number of charging and discharging cycles, depending on how much of the battery’s capacity is normally used.
