Batteries are usually judged by investment costs per kWh. To approximate the cost for storing a kWh, divide investment costs with its estimated cycles. For instance, a stored kWh costs about 11 cents if the battery has a lifespan of 5 years, a daily charge/discharge cycle, and $200/kWh (ie. 200 / 365 * 5). Reply.
