Technical FAQs 4

How long do battery storage systems last?

Let’s take a look at the average lifespan of battery storage systems and how to maximise their life expectancy. When it comes to the longevity of battery storage systems, you can generally expect them to last between 10 and 12 years. That said, some premium models can keep going for up to 15 years or even longer with the right care and maintenance.

What is a battery cycle life?

Cycle life, a measure of how many charge-discharge cycles a battery can undergo before experiencing a significant capacity loss, is another key consideration for grid energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries designed for grid applications often have cycle lives as high as 10,000 cycles .

How long do lithium ion batteries last?

Lithium-ion batteries designed for grid applications often have cycle lives as high as 10,000 cycles . This durability ensures the long-term viability and economic feasibility of grid-scale energy storage projects. 5.5. Marine and offshore applications

How many cycles a day should a battery storage system run?

A quality battery storage system should be able to manage 6,000 to 10,000 cycles before you start to see a dip in its capacity. At one cycle a day, that’s roughly 15 years plus. It’s worth noting that the frequency of cycles you get through varies depending on the energy consumption patterns of your home.
