Frequently asked questions

When should I budget to replace my battery?+

Years left โ‰ˆ (current SoH โˆ’ retirement SoH) รท annual fade rate. A bank at 88% fading 2.5%/yr reaches a 70% retirement point in ~7 years. The planner does this math and converts the future cost into a monthly sinking fund so the date arrives funded.

How do I know my battery's fade rate?+

Two or more dated capacity tests: (SoHโ‚ โˆ’ SoHโ‚‚) รท years between them. The degradation-tracker tools on this site log tests and fit the trend for you. Without tests, the chemistry-based forecast tools give a modeled rate to start with.

Will battery replacement prices keep falling?+

Lithium pack prices have fallen ~85% in a decade and continue trending down 5โ€“10%/yr with chemistry shifts (LFP, sodium-ion). Budgeting at today's price is therefore conservative โ€” pleasant surprises beat funding gaps. Revisit the plan yearly with fresh prices and a fresh SoH.

Replace at threshold or run the battery to failure?+

For backup-critical and revenue-earning systems, replace on plan โ€” an unplanned failure costs downtime that dwarfs the residual capacity. For tolerant duties (a solar bank with grid fallback), running past threshold extracts free value. The planner's date is the decision point, not a deadline.
