Without a renewable energy system installed, battery systems are eligible for the 7-year MACRS depreciation schedule: an equivalent reduction in capital cost of about 25%.1 The same benefit applies to battery systems installed along with a renewable energy system if the battery is charged by the renewable energy system less than 50% of the time.2 If the battery system is charged by the renewable energy system more than 50% of the time on an annual basis, the battery should qualify for the 5-year MACRS schedule, equal to about a 27% reduction in capital costs. [pdf]
Accordingly, the battery depreciation cost can be divided into two part: the fixed cost and the controllable cost. For the fixed part, the aging process is inevitable, and a battery has a finite calendar life. For example, once a battery is installed, it will be scrapped after certain years even if it has not been put into operation.
A quantitative depreciation cost model is put forward for lithium batteries. A practical charging/discharging strategy is applied to battery management. The depth of discharge of the battery storage is scheduled more rationally. The proposed strategy improves the cost efficiency of lithium batteries in MGs.
Some factors are independent of the dispatch strategy such as the ambient temperature and cumulative usage time. While some are controllable, such as the charging/discharging strategy and the DOD in a cycle. Accordingly, the battery depreciation cost can be divided into two part: the fixed cost and the controllable cost.
Battery systems that are charged by a renewable energy system more than 75% of the time are eligible for the ITC ( When claiming the ITC, the MACRS depreciation basis is reduced by half of the value of the ITC. ), currently 30% for systems charged by PV and declining to 10% from 2022 onward.
If owned directly by a public entity, such as a public university or federal agency, battery storage systems are not eligible for tax-based incentives. If owned by a private party (i.e., a tax-paying business), battery systems may be eligible for some or all of the federal tax incentives described below.
For further analysis of the economical impact of LB management method on MG, operational costs of the two methods are compared in Table 6. When considering battery depreciation cost under the proposed method, the average DOD of LB groups is 31.11%, lower than 80% under the traditional method.

Ambri Incorporated is an American which aims to produce for energy storage in wind and solar power systems. In 2016 it had thirty-seven employees. Ambri, an American energy storage tech startup founded in 2010, produces liquid metal batteries to store renewable energy from wind and solar power systems for a long time. The company’s battery is made from antimony (Sb) and calcium (Ca), and it doesn’t need to be cooled or use expensive materials like lithium. [pdf]
Ambri was set up in 2010 and more than a decade later, its energy storage solution has obtained the UL 1973 certification allowing it to be used for stationary as well as motive auxiliary power applications. Ambri’s projected energy storage cost hovers around $200 per kWh, which is almost fifty percent lower than lithium-ion storage.
Ambri’s sustainable, American-made batteries are built for daily cycling – even in extreme, harsh environments. Unlike rival technologies, Liquid Metal batteries have minimal degradation and can last for over 20 years.
Ambri Inc. has developed and is commercializing a new, long-duration battery technology that will enable widespread use of renewable energy sources, reduce electricity costs, and enable power systems to operate more reliably and efficiently.
In New York City, the battery will help relieve congestion in a region with high-power prices and a stressed grid. In Alaska and Hawaii, Ambri will test the battery’s ability to support renewable energy. As Bradwell says, Hawaii is dominated by expensive, imported diesel fuel.
In 2010 Donald Sadoway, David Bradwell and Luis Ortiz co-founded the Liquid Metal Battery Corporation with seed money from Bill Gates and the French energy company, Total S.A. The offices were in Cambridge, Massachusetts and so they named the company AMBRI, from the heart of cAMBRIdge.
Reliance is also in talks with Ambri to set up manufacturing and distribution facility in India. In September of 2023, despite receiving $144 million in funding 2 years earlier, Ambri announced it will be forced to lay off 105 workers, unless it can raise additional funding on or before Nov. 13 2023.
