Grid-scale battery costs: $/kW or $/kWh?
Grid-scale battery costs can be measured in $/kW or $/kWh terms. Thinking in kW terms is more helpful for modelling grid resiliency. A good rule of thumb is that grid-scale lithium ion batteries will have 4-hours of storage duration, as this minimizes per kW costs and maximizes the revenue potential from power price arbitrage. $749.00

Cost-effective Electro-Thermal Energy Storage to balance small scale renewable energy systems
Thus, many of the low-cost energy storage options are targeting grid balancing and require massive CAPEX investment that will make their application unlikely in small-scale rural stand-alone systems. For those applications, there are currently few options, and batteries are one of the only modular technologies available.
