Best Lithium Battery in Pakistan 2026 — Prices & Top Picks by Backup Need
Best lithium solar batteries in Pakistan for 2026, compared by price per kWh, cycle life and warranty. SAJ, GoodWe and Crown picks from Rs 250,000.
18 min read
Most Pakistani buyers shopping for a solar battery compare 16kWh lithium batteries priced between Rs 580,000 and Rs 700,000, or 5kWh modules between Rs 230,000 and Rs 280,000, and pick on brand or price tag alone. That misses the two numbers that matter most: how much the battery costs per kWh you can actually use, and how many years of daily cycling it will survive. For most homes in 2026, the best lithium battery in Pakistan is the SAJ 16kWh at Rs 580,000, the lowest-priced 16kWh battery we stock, with 15.2kWh usable and an IP65 rating.
We compared every lithium battery we stock on price per usable kWh, cycle life, charge and discharge current, protection rating, expansion and warranty, and picked the best one for each need. Every price below was checked on MartOnline on 2 November 2026, and every specification comes from the manufacturer datasheet.

How We Picked
Every battery on this list was judged on the same criteria, using manufacturer datasheets and MartOnline's verified November 2026 prices:
- Price per usable kWh. This is the real cost of storage, not the price tag.
- Cycle life, with its test conditions. Brands test at different depths of discharge, so we show the condition next to every figure.
- Charge and discharge current. This decides how fast the battery refills and how much load it can run.
- Protection rating (IP). This decides whether the battery must stay indoors.
- Expansion. How many units can run in parallel as your needs grow.
- Warranty length, along with local service in Pakistan.
- Inverter compatibility, meaning voltage (LV or HV) and communication protocol.
We only included batteries we currently stock, so every pick can be ordered today at the price shown.
Lithium Battery Price per kWh in Pakistan (2026)
The price tag tells you little on its own. Dividing price by usable energy shows what each kWh of storage really costs:
| Battery | Price | Usable energy | Price per usable kWh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunwoda Atrix Max 16kWh | Rs 600,000 | 16kWh | Rs 37,500 |
| SAJ 16kWh | Rs 580,000 | 15.2kWh | Rs 38,158 |
| Pylontech Fidus Plus 16kWh | Rs 625,000 | 16.08kWh | Rs 38,878 |
| Crown Micro 16kWh | Rs 630,000 | 16.08kWh* | Rs 39,186 |
| Mesol 16kWh Infiniti | Rs 635,000 | 16kWh* | Rs 39,688 |
| Luminey Atrix 5kWh | Rs 230,000 | 5kWh | Rs 46,000 |
| GoodWe Lynx A G4 16kWh | Rs 700,000 | 14.9kWh | Rs 46,980 |
| Crown Micro 5.12kWh Wall | Rs 250,000 | 5.12kWh* | Rs 48,828 |
| Pylontech Fidus 5.12kWh | Rs 255,000 | 4.97kWh | Rs 51,308 |
| BYD Battery-Box LV5.0+ | Rs 268,500 | 5.12kWh | Rs 52,441 |
| GoodWe Lynx A 5kWh | Rs 275,000 | 5kWh | Rs 55,000 |
| Luminey MonaWall SE5 | Rs 280,000 | 5kWh | Rs 56,000 |
*Rated energy. The manufacturer does not state usable capacity.
Not listed: the Huawei LUNA2000-7-S1 (Rs 610,000, 6.9kWh), which only works with Huawei inverters, and the HV modules, which only work with HV inverters.
Two findings stand out:
- The five lowest-priced 16kWh batteries cost roughly 14 to 33% less per kWh than the 5kWh modules. The exception is the GoodWe Lynx A G4, whose built-in heating puts it about level with the cheapest 5kWh module. If you know you need 15kWh or more, one 16kWh unit is cheaper than stacking three 5kWh modules.
- The SAJ 16kWh is the lowest-priced 16kWh battery to buy outright, at Rs 580,000. The Sunwoda Atrix Max edges it by Rs 658 per usable kWh (under 2%), but the SAJ costs Rs 20,000 less upfront and is IP65 rated.
How Many kWh Battery Do You Need?
Battery size depends on what you run during load shedding and for how long. The table below assumes about 10% inverter losses.
| Backup load | Example | 5kWh battery | 16kWh battery | 2 × 16kWh |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1kW | Fans, lights, fridge, TV | ~4.5 hrs | ~14 hrs | ~29 hrs |
| 1.5kW | Above + 1 ton inverter AC | ~3 hrs | ~9.5 hrs | ~19 hrs |
| 2.6kW | Above + 1.5 ton inverter AC | ~1.7 hrs | ~5.5 hrs | ~11 hrs |
| 4.5kW | Two 1.5 ton ACs + household | ~1 hr | ~3 hrs | ~6.5 hrs |
Quick guide by home:
| Home | Recommended battery |
|---|---|
| Apartment, fans and lights only | 5kWh |
| 5 marla with a 1 ton AC, 6–8 hours of load shedding | 10 to 16kWh |
| 10 marla with a 1.5 ton AC | 16kWh |
| Large home with two ACs overnight | 32kWh (two 16kWh units) |
Confirm your exact sizing with the MartOnline Solar Calculator.
How to Compare Cycle Life (Most Buyers Get This Wrong)
Cycle life figures are only comparable when they are tested at the same depth of discharge (DOD). Depth of discharge is how much of the battery is used in each cycle. A battery cycled to 50% DOD lasts far longer than the same battery cycled to 100%, so a brand that tests at 50% DOD will always print a bigger number.
| Battery | Rated cycles | Tested at |
|---|---|---|
| Crown Micro 16kWh | Over 10,000 | 80% DOD, 0.5C, 25°C |
| SAJ 16kWh | 8,000+ | 90% DOD |
| GoodWe Lynx A G4 16kWh | 8,000 | 90% DOD |
| Crown Micro 5.12kWh Wall | Over 8,000 | 50% DOD, 0.5C, 25°C |
Crown's own datasheet chart shows how much DOD matters. The same Crown Micro 16kWh battery reaches about 7,000 cycles at 90% DOD and about 4,000 cycles at 100% DOD, against over 10,000 at 80% DOD.
What this means for you: compare cycle figures only at the same DOD. Using 80 to 90% of your battery each day, rather than draining it fully, extends its life significantly.
Best Lithium Battery for Most Homes: SAJ 16kWh
The SAJ 16kWh is the best lithium battery for most Pakistani homes in 2026, at Rs 580,000. It is the lowest-priced 16kWh battery we stock, delivers 15.2kWh of usable energy, and carries an IP65 rating, so it can be installed in sheltered outdoor locations.
| Specification | SAJ 16kWh |

Why it wins: it charges and discharges at 200A, has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth monitoring with a display, and offers far more parallel headroom than any other 16kWh unit (64 against 32 for Sunwoda and 16 for SAJ). It also uses Grade A LiFePO4 cells with fire-redundant wiring and laser welding.
Trade-off: it is rated IP20, so it must be installed indoors, and it costs Rs 50,000 more than the SAJ 16kWh.
Pair with: Crown Micro Nova, Crown Micro Elego Star, Crown Micro Elego Oyster 10kW and Crown Micro Xavier 6kW inverters, or any major 48V hybrid via RS485 or CAN.
Best Battery for GoodWe Inverters and Cold Cities: GoodWe Lynx A G4 16kWh
The GoodWe Lynx A G4 16kWh is the best lithium battery for GoodWe inverter owners and homes in cold northern cities, at Rs 700,000. Built-in heating lets it charge normally down to −20°C, which matters on winter mornings in Islamabad, Peshawar and the north.
| Specification | GoodWe Lynx A G4 16kWh |
|---|---|
| Price | Rs 700,000 |
| Rated / usable energy | 16.1kWh / 14.9kWh |
| Cycle life | 8,000 at 90% DOD |

Trade-off: it has the highest price per usable kWh of the 16kWh batteries (Rs 46,980), and it is designed primarily for GoodWe inverters.
Pair with: the GoodWe ES Uniq 6kW to 12kW or the GoodWe ET LV three phase range.
Best Battery for Small Homes: Crown Micro 5.12kWh Wall
The Crown Micro 5.12kWh Wall-Mounted Battery (CMLB-51.2-100-WM) is the best lithium battery for small homes and apartments in Pakistan, at Rs 250,000. It mounts on the wall, saves floor space, and can grow to 16 units as your needs increase.
| Specification | Crown Micro 5.12kWh Wall |
|---|---|

| Design life / warranty | 15 years / 5 years |
Why it wins: a wall-mounted battery suits flats and homes without a spare utility room. You can start with one unit and add more later, up to 16.
Trade-off: it is IP20, so indoor use only. A single unit's 100A limit (about 5kW) means heavy AC loads need two or more units. Its cycle rating is tested at 50% DOD, so it is not directly comparable with batteries tested at 90%.
Pair with: the Crown Micro Xavier 6kW, Crown Micro Elego Star 6.5kW or SAJ H2 6kW.
Best Modular Battery for GoodWe Systems: GoodWe Lynx A 5kWh
The GoodWe Lynx A 5kWh is the best way to start small with a GoodWe inverter, at Rs 275,000. Its Cell-to-Pack design keeps it compact at 40kg, and up to 15 units can be connected for 75kWh.
| Specification | GoodWe Lynx A 5kWh |
|---|---|
| Price | Rs 275,000 |
| Usable energy | 5kWh (100% DOD) |
| Nominal current / power | 60A / 3kW |
| Parallel | Up to 15 units (75kWh) |
| Protection | IP21 (indoor only) |
| Warranty | 5 year product warranty, 10 year performance warranty |
Why it wins: native GoodWe integration, remote diagnosis through the inverter, and the flexibility to build storage one 5kWh step at a time.
Trade-off: it has the highest price per kWh of the LV batteries we pick (Rs 55,000), and at 3kW per unit, you need several units to run an AC.
High Voltage (HV) Batteries for Commercial Inverters
HV batteries only work with HV inverters, and LV 48V batteries only work with LV inverters. The two cannot be mixed. Commercial inverters above roughly 20kW, such as the Crown Micro Elego Oyster 20kW and 30kW, use HV battery banks because high voltage cuts battery current, cable size and heat loss.
Crown Micro 5kWh HV (Rs 315,000) is our top HV pick. Each 5.07kWh module carries a 10 year warranty, IP65 protection and 6,000 cycle life. Modules stack up to 9 in series (45kWh per stack) and 20 stacks in parallel. It is designed for the Crown Micro Elego Oyster 20kW and 30kW HV inverters. Because each module is 70.4V and the Oyster needs at least 100V, a minimum of two modules in series is required. HV systems need a certified installer, so confirm your stack configuration with us before ordering.
GoodWe Lynx D 5kWh HV (Rs 255,000) is an IP66, plug-and-play HV battery for GoodWe HV inverters, and it supports mixing old and new packs. It carries a 5 year product warranty and a 10 year performance warranty.
Large Commercial Storage
| Battery | Price | Capacity | Price per kWh | Pairs with |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GoodWe BAT-S 51.2kWh | Rs 2,700,000 | 51.2kWh (scales to 337.8kWh) | Rs 52,734 | GoodWe GW50K, GW100K |
| Crown Micro C&I 107.52kWh | Rs 9,700,000 | 107.52kWh | Rs 90,216 | Commercial 384V systems |
The GoodWe BAT-S offers over 6,000 cycles with optional pack-level aerosol fire suppression. The Crown Micro C&I system is a complete cabinet with integrated BMS and EMS, 10ms on and off-grid switching, cloud monitoring, and built-in safety features including CO detection and a fire water injection port.

| GoodWe ES Uniq, GoodWe ET LV | GoodWe Lynx A G4 16kWh or Lynx A 5kWh |
| Crown Micro Xavier 3kW (24V system) | A 24V lithium battery. Message us on WhatsApp to order |
| Crown Micro Elego Oyster 20kW / 30kW (HV) | Crown Micro 5kWh HV |
| GoodWe GW50K / GW100K (HV) | GoodWe BAT-S 51.2kWh |
Two rules: match the voltage (48V LV or HV), and confirm the communication protocol (CAN or RS485) is supported. Ecosystem batteries such as Huawei LUNA2000 work only with their own brand's inverters.
Lithium vs Lead-Acid: Is Lithium Worth It?
For daily load shedding, LiFePO4 lithium is the better long-term buy. A lead-acid battery should only be discharged to about 50% to protect its life, and typically lasts a few hundred to around 1,000 cycles. A LiFePO4 battery uses 90 to 100% of its capacity, lasts thousands of cycles, and needs no water top-ups. The upfront cost is higher, but the cost per usable kWh over the battery's life is far lower.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which lithium battery is best in Pakistan in 2026?
The best lithium battery depends on your inverter, load and budget. As of November 2026, the best choice for most homes is the SAJ 16kWh at Rs 580,000. It is the lowest-priced 16kWh battery MartOnline stocks, with 15.2kWh usable, 8,000+ cycles at 90% depth of discharge, and IP65 protection. For the most expansion and local service, the Crown Micro 16kWh at Rs 630,000 supports up to 64 units in parallel. GoodWe inverter owners should choose the GoodWe Lynx A G4 16kWh at Rs 700,000, which adds built-in heating for cold winters. For small homes, the Crown Micro 5.12kWh Wall battery at Rs 250,000 is the most practical starting point.
What is the price of a 16kWh lithium battery in Pakistan?
As of November 2026, 16kWh lithium battery prices at MartOnline range from Rs 580,000 to Rs 700,000. The SAJ 16kWh costs Rs 580,000, the Sunwoda Atrix Max Rs 600,000, the Pylontech Fidus Plus Rs 625,000, the Crown Micro 16kWh Rs 630,000, the Mesol Infiniti Rs 635,000 and the GoodWe Lynx A G4 Rs 700,000. Compare them by price per usable kWh rather than the price tag. On that measure, the Sunwoda and SAJ are the best value, at about Rs 37,500 and Rs 38,158 per usable kWh.
How many kWh battery do I need for a 5 marla house?
A 5 marla house in Pakistan typically needs a 10 to 16kWh lithium battery. A 5 marla backup load with fans, lights, a fridge, a TV and a 1 ton inverter AC draws about 1.5kW. A 16kWh battery runs that for roughly 9 to 10 hours, enough to cover most daily load shedding. Without the AC, at around 1kW, a 16kWh battery lasts about 14 hours. If your budget is tight, start with two Crown Micro 5.12kWh Wall batteries (10.24kWh) and add a third later.
How many hours will a 16kWh battery last?
A 16kWh lithium battery delivers about 14 to 14.5kWh to your home after inverter losses. At a 1kW load (fans, lights, fridge, TV) that is about 14 hours. At 1.5kW with a 1 ton AC, it is about 9.5 hours. At 2.6kW with a 1.5 ton AC, it is about 5.5 hours. With two 1.5 ton ACs at around 4.5kW, it is about 3 hours. Batteries with 95% depth of discharge, such as the SAJ 16kWh, deliver slightly less than those rated at 100%.
Is a lithium battery better than lead-acid for solar in Pakistan?
Yes, for homes with daily load shedding. A LiFePO4 lithium battery uses 90 to 100% of its rated capacity, lasts thousands of cycles, and needs no maintenance. A lead-acid battery should only be discharged to about 50%, typically lasts a few hundred to around 1,000 cycles, and needs regular water top-ups. Lithium costs more upfront, but because you can use nearly all of it and it lasts many times longer, its cost per usable kWh over its lifetime is far lower. LiFePO4 is also the safest lithium chemistry for home installation.
Will any lithium battery work with my inverter?
No. Two things must match. First is voltage: LV inverters need 48V (51.2V) batteries, and HV inverters need high voltage batteries, typically between 100V and 800V. The two cannot be swapped. Second is communication: the battery and inverter must share a protocol, usually CAN or RS485. Most 48V batteries, including the SAJ 16kWh and Crown Micro 16kWh, work with major hybrid brands such as SAJ, GoodWe, Auxsol and Crown. Some batteries are tied to one brand, such as Huawei LUNA2000. Confirm compatibility with MartOnline on WhatsApp before ordering.
Can I add more batteries later?
Yes. Most LiFePO4 batteries support parallel expansion, so you can start with one unit and add more as your budget allows. The Crown Micro 16kWh supports up to 64 units, the GoodWe Lynx A G4 up to 30, the SAJ 16kWh and Crown Micro 5.12kWh Wall up to 16, and the GoodWe Lynx A 5kWh up to 15. Your inverter may set its own limit, so check both. For best results, add units of the same model and confirm the configuration with your installer.
Can a lithium battery be installed outdoors in Pakistan?
Only if it has a suitable IP rating, and even then only in a sheltered spot out of direct sun and rain. IP65 batteries such as the SAJ 16kWh and GoodWe Lynx A G4 16kWh can go in covered outdoor locations like a veranda or carport. IP20 and IP21 batteries, including the Crown Micro 16kWh, Crown Micro 5.12kWh Wall and GoodWe Lynx A 5kWh, must be installed indoors in a dry room. In coastal Karachi, keep any battery away from salt air where possible.
Final Verdict
For most Pakistani homes in 2026, the best lithium battery is the SAJ 16kWh at Rs 580,000, the lowest-priced 16kWh unit with IP65 protection. Choose the Crown Micro 16kWh if expansion and local service matter most, and the GoodWe Lynx A G4 if you own a GoodWe inverter or live somewhere with cold winters. Small homes should start with the Crown Micro 5.12kWh Wall battery and add units over time.
