Lithium Battery Prices — August 2026
Lithium LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries are the modern standard for solar energy storage in Pakistan. They charge faster, last longer, weigh less, and need zero maintenance. Here are current wholesale prices at Enon Traders:
| Brand | Capacity | Voltage | Approx. Price | Per kWh | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dyness B5 | 5.12 kWh | 51.2V | Rs 180,000 | Rs 35,200 | 10 years |
| Dyness B10 | 10.24 kWh | 51.2V | Rs 340,000 | Rs 33,200 | 10 years |
| Fronus Titan | 5 kWh | 51.2V | Rs 195,000 | Rs 39,000 | 7 years |
| Power Square | 5.12 kWh | 51.2V | Rs 170,000 | Rs 33,200 | 8 years |
| SolaX T-BAT | 5.8 kWh | 51.2V | Rs 210,000 | Rs 36,200 | 10 years |
| Dyness Tower T20 | 20 kWh | 51.2V | Rs 600,000 | Rs 30,000 | 10 years |
Key insight: per-kWh cost drops as battery capacity increases. A 5kWh battery costs Rs 33,000–39,000/kWh, while a 20kWh stack brings it down to Rs 30,000/kWh. For systems needing large storage (10kW+), buying a single large battery or stackable modules is more cost-effective than multiple small units.

💬 Get Today's Battery PricesTubular Battery Prices — August 2026
Tubular lead-acid batteries remain the budget option for basic backup needs. Prices at Enon Traders:
| Brand | Capacity | Voltage | Approx. Price | Usable kWh | Per Usable kWh |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Osaka T-1800 | 150Ah | 12V | Rs 48,000 | 0.9 kWh* | Rs 53,300 |
| Osaka T-2000 | 185Ah | 12V | Rs 55,000 | 1.1 kWh* | Rs 50,000 |
| Osaka T-2500 | 200Ah | 12V | Rs 62,000 | 1.2 kWh* | Rs 51,700 |
| Phoenix TX-1800 | 150Ah | 12V | Rs 55,000 | 0.9 kWh* | Rs 61,100 |
| Phoenix TX-2500 | 200Ah | 12V | Rs 68,000 | 1.2 kWh* | Rs 56,700 |
*Critical note on usable capacity: a 200Ah 12V tubular battery has a total capacity of 2.4 kWh, but you should only discharge it to 50% to preserve lifespan — giving you just 1.2 kWh of usable energy. A 5kWh lithium battery delivers 4.6–4.9 kWh usable (90–95% DoD). This is why the per usable kWh cost of tubular batteries is actually higher than lithium.
Lithium vs Tubular: The Full Comparison
| Feature | Lithium (LiFePO4) | Tubular (Lead-Acid) |
|---|---|---|
| Cost Per kWh (Raw) | Rs 33,000–55,000 | Rs 15,000–22,000 |
| Cost Per USABLE kWh | Rs 35,000–58,000 | Rs 50,000–61,000 |
| Lifespan | 6,000+ cycles (10–15 years) | 1,000–1,500 cycles (3–5 years) |
| Depth of Discharge | 90–95% | 50% |
| Round-Trip Efficiency | 95%+ | 80–85% |
| Weight (5kWh usable) | 45–55 kg | 150–200 kg (4 batteries) |
| Maintenance | Zero | Monthly (distilled water, terminal cleaning) |
| Charge Speed | 1–2 hours to full | 6–8 hours to full |
| Ventilation Needed? | No | Yes (hydrogen gas during charging) |
| Replacement Over 15 Years | 0–1 times | 3–4 times |

💬 Ask on WhatsAppHow to Size Your Battery
The right battery size depends on two factors: how many hours of backup you need and what loads you want to run during outages. Here is a sizing guide for common Pakistani scenarios:
| Backup Need | Typical Load | Lithium Size | Tubular Equivalent | Approx. Lithium Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic (fans + lights, 4 hrs) | 500W | 2.5 kWh | 2 × 200Ah 12V | Rs 100,000 |
| Standard (fans + lights + fridge, 5 hrs) | 800W | 5 kWh | 4 × 200Ah 12V | Rs 180,000 |
| Comfort (above + 1 AC, 4 hrs) | 1,800W | 10 kWh | 8 × 200Ah 12V | Rs 340,000 |
| Full-house (above + 2 ACs, 4 hrs) | 3,500W | 15 kWh | Not practical | Rs 480,000 |
| Commercial (full operations, 6 hrs) | 5,000W+ | 20–30 kWh | Not practical | Rs 600,000+ |
For systems above 10kWh, tubular batteries become impractical — the weight (400+ kg), space, ventilation requirements, and maintenance make lithium the only realistic option. This is why Enon Traders recommends lithium for all 8kW, 10kW, 15kW, and 20kW systems.
When to Skip the Battery Entirely
Not every solar system needs a battery. If you choose on-grid with net metering, the grid acts as your battery — excess solar units export during the day, and you draw from the grid at night. No battery cost, no maintenance, fastest payback.
Skip the battery if: your area has stable WAPDA supply with minimal load shedding, your priority is lowest possible system cost and fastest ROI, or you have a 3kW or 5kW system where the battery cost represents 30–40% of total system price.
Add a battery if: you experience 4+ hours of daily load shedding, you need power for medical equipment or cold storage, you run a business where outages cause revenue loss, or you want full energy independence.

Lithium is significantly cheaper over 15 years. A 5kWh lithium battery costs Rs 180,000 and lasts 10+ years. Four tubular batteries providing the same usable capacity cost Rs 220,000 and need replacing every 3–5 years — totalling Rs 660,000+ over 15 years. Lithium saves Rs 480,000.
Yes — if your inverter is hybrid. Hybrid inverters from Fronus, SolaX, GoodWe, and Huawei are battery-ready from day one. You can install without a battery now and add lithium later when prices drop further. This is exactly why Enon Traders recommends hybrid inverters even for on-grid installations.
LiFePO4 batteries operate safely up to 55°C. In Pakistan's climate, a well-ventilated indoor installation (not in direct sunlight) easily achieves the rated 6,000+ cycles. The built-in BMS (Battery Management System) handles temperature monitoring and protection automatically.
For a 5kW hybrid system, a 5kWh lithium battery provides 4–5 hours of backup for essential loads (fans, lights, fridge). For backup including one AC, go for 10kWh. Ask us on WhatsApp for exact sizing based on your loads.
Yes — for budgets strictly under Rs 100,000 and basic backup needs (fans and lights only). Osaka tubular batteries are reliable, widely available, and easy to replace. But for anything beyond basic backup, especially if you run an AC, lithium delivers far better value over time.
No. Never mix battery chemistries. Lithium and tubular have different charging profiles, voltages, and discharge curves. Mixing them damages both batteries and can void warranties. Use one type per system.
