Lithium Battery Prices in Nigeria: 2.5kWh to 30kWh, Counted Across the Market

On 20 October 2026 we counted every brand-new lithium battery listed on Jumia and Jiji that states its capacity: 258 listings from 2.5kWh to 30kWh. The table gives the price most sellers are asking at each size. Every listing is in the free download at the bottom.

We re-checked Jumia and Jiji on 9 November 2026. The 5kWh, 10kWh and 15kWh medians were within about 5% of October, so the table still holds. Jiji sellers ask about ₦150,000–₦250,000 less than Jumia for the same size, so check both before you buy.

Lithium battery prices by capacity

A 5kWh lithium battery typically sells for ₦1M to ₦1.25M, a 10kWh for ₦1.65M to ₦1.94M, and a 15kWh for ₦1.95M to ₦2.46M. All of them are LiFePO₄ (lithium iron phosphate), the chemistry sold for home storage in Nigeria.

Bigger batteries cost less per kWh

The price per kWh falls as the battery gets bigger: about ₦232,000 per kWh at 2.5kWh, ₦180,000 at 10kWh, ₦144,000 at 15kWh and ₦132,000 at 30kWh. If you will need the storage within a year or two, one bigger battery is cheaper than two small ones bought separately.

The one exception is 16kWh: its median (₦2.65M) is above the 15kWh median (₦2.17M) because most 16kWh listings are branded floor-standing cabinets, from Deye, Growatt and LVTopsun, while 15kWh listings include more lower-cost brands.

Prices by brand

Felicity is the brand Nigerians search for most by name. Its listings sit close to the market median at every size:

Lithium or tubular?

A brand-new 12V 220Ah tubular battery sells for about ₦260,000. It stores 2.64kWh but should only be run to about half, so you get about 1.3kWh a night. A 2.5kWh lithium pack at ₦580,000 gives you roughly 2.25kWh a night and lasts several times as many cycles. Per kWh you actually use over the battery’s life, lithium is the cheaper battery; tubular is only cheaper on the day you buy it. Tubular prices by size and brand are in tubular battery prices in Nigeria, and the full comparison is in LiFePO₄ vs tubular and AGM batteries.

What to check before you buy

Depth of discharge and cycle rating, together. “6,000 cycles at 90%” means you can use 90% of the battery every night for well over a decade. A battery with no stated rating, or rated at 80%, gives you less usable energy for the money.

Warranty in years, in writing. The batteries we sell carry 6 to 7 years from the manufacturer. Ask who honours the warranty in Nigeria before you pay.

That it talks to your inverter. Most 48V packs connect to the inverter by a communication cable (CAN or RS485) so the inverter knows exactly how full the battery is. Check your inverter is on the battery’s compatibility list.

The BMS current. The battery’s management system limits how much power it can give. A 100A BMS gives about 5kW; a 200A one about 10kW. A 10kW inverter on a 100A battery strains it or trips it.

The cells. The same “15kWh” label can hold very different cells. Good packs name the cell maker and say A-grade; cheap unbranded packs often use B-grade cells that lose capacity early. More on reading a battery datasheet, and on inverters and panels, is in why solar quotes differ.

How our batteries compare

We sell four, all 51.2V LiFePO₄ for 48V inverters: the Aurora 10kWh at ₦1,820,000 (8kWh usable), the Aurora 15kWh at ₦2,180,000 (13.5kWh usable), the LVTopsun 16kWh at ₦2,200,000 (14.4kWh usable) and the Aurora 30kWh at ₦4,250,000 (27kWh usable). Against the market: our 10kWh and 15kWh are at the median, the 16kWh is below it, and the 30kWh is above the ₦3.95M median, from only nine listings.

Which battery size your house needs is worked out in how many solar panels and batteries for your inverter, what inverters cost is in inverter prices in Nigeria, and what panels cost is in solar panel prices in Nigeria.
