What is the price of lithium batteries? How do lithium battery manufacturers price lithium batteries on the market?

The pricing method for lithium batteries is based on capacity, which is calculated for every 1000mAh (1Ah). According to current standards, the price of lithium-ion batteries on the market generally ranges from 3.6 to 9.5 yuan per 1000mAh when they leave the factory, with an average price of around 8 yuan. Moreover, the production difficulty and price of lithium batteries with different materials vary. Including lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium nickel oxide, lithium iron phosphate, ternary materials, etc. For example, the price of lithium cobalt oxide is generally 7.5 yuan per hour, the price of lithium iron phosphate is 9 yuan per hour, the price of ternary is 6.5 yuan per hour, and the price of lithium manganese oxide is 6 yuan per hour. The prices are only for reference.

The price trend of lithium batteries in 2022

Based on the market situation in 2022, the price of lithium batteries is gradually decreasing, and the rate of decline is even faster than predicted. Due to the annual changes in subsidy policies, the subsidy intensity is becoming smaller and smaller, while the prices of upstream raw materials and positive electrode materials continue to decline, resulting in a decrease in the cost of lithium batteries. The supply of lithium batteries in the market exceeds the demand, leading to overcapacity and a continuous decline in lithium battery prices. It is expected that by the end of 2020, the price of lithium batteries will decrease by about 10%. By 2021, the price of lithium batteries is expected to stabilize, depending on next year's policies and whether the upstream raw material market will usher in a new turning point. In addition, with the rapid development of new energy, the demand for power lithium batteries continues to increase, and a price rebound is not impossible.

Lithium batteries on the market are also divided into standard and customized products. Generally, the price of standard products is relatively transparent, and as long as the product is qualified, the price is within the average market price range. And some special purpose lithium batteries, such as low-temperature lithium batteries, specialized medical device lithium batteries, robot intelligent batteries, which require special customization, are more expensive. Different manufacturers have different quality and prices.
