# Battery Option Comparison Worksheet

Compare entered purchase costs per usable cycle and throughput energy.

Category: Solar & Battery

Battery purchase price can be compared with usable cycle energy, provided the cycle assumptions remain visible.

Enter rated energy, discharge assumptions and quoted cost for each option. Review throughput cost alongside the conditions behind the cycle rating.

## Inputs and controls

* Option
* Purchase quote (PKR). Allowed range: 0 to 1000000000000
* Nominal capacity (kWh). Allowed range: 0.001 to 1000000
* Usable DoD (%). Allowed range: 0.01 to 100
* Assumed equivalent cycles (cycles). Allowed range: 1 to 100000
* Delivery efficiency (%). Allowed range: 0.01 to 100

## How to use

* Add the entries in battery options as separate rows. Include option, purchase quote, nominal capacity, usable DoD, assumed equivalent cycles and delivery efficiency for each row.

* Select Calculate result. Read the returned values alongside the assumptions below before copying, exporting or acting on the result.


## Why use this tool

The side by side worksheet helps expose whether a price comparison relies on very different life assumptions.


## Before relying on the result

Entered cycle ratings are assumptions, not verified life expectancy. Constant usable capacity ignores degradation, calendar aging, finance and replacement labour. This compares arithmetic, not chemistry suitability.


## Tool limitations

Entered cycle ratings are assumptions, not verified life expectancy. Constant usable capacity ignores degradation, calendar aging, finance and replacement labour. This compares arithmetic, not chemistry suitability.

## Questions

### Are cycle ratings verified life predictions?

No. They are entered assumptions. Degradation, calendar aging and operating conditions can change real service life.

### What should I check before using Battery Option Comparison Worksheet?

Check Option, Purchase quote, Nominal capacity and Usable DoD. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
