[QUOTE="binky, post: 524731, member: 490"] batteries are better on there own cct connected to your fuse board. If your board is really old it would be recommended to have it inspected and your whole house tested - think of it as an MoT for your electrics. If you are installing a new cct, then that cct needs to be 'up to date'. Thee are lots of battery systems, you would be looking for an AC set up - ie direct connected to the grid without solar panels. Many now advertise 'octopuss compatible' for smart metering connections, which allows Octopuss to control the battery in line with cheaper off peak metering by the half hour. I've not had time to read up on such things, so can't comment on how financially beneficial it would be. But it certainly sounds interesting. [/QUOTE]
