Stop paying
peak rates.

A home battery can charge overnight on cheap tariffs then power your home all through the day, cutting electricity costs by up to 70% per kWh. No solar panels needed, plus backup when the grid goes down.

Why BatterySense

Cheaper bills.
A stronger grid.
Less reliance on the rest of the world.

We're passionate about home batteries because they put money back in your pocket and energy security back in the country's hands.

Cut your bills by up to 70%

£725–£1,100 saved per year, paid back in 4.5–5.7 years

Charge overnight at off-peak rates — as low as 7p/kWh on tariffs like Octopus Go — then use that stored power through the day instead of paying peak prices. EV owners save even more, cutting charging costs by up to 80%.

Keep the lights on

Up to 24 hours of backup power

When the grid goes down, your battery switches over automatically in milliseconds — lights, fridge, broadband, phone charging all kept running. No generator, no noise, no fuel. Most homes can run through a full night and beyond.

Charge when demand is low — and the grid is cleaner

Charge when energy is cheapest and greenest

Overnight charging spreads grid demand evenly, reducing reliance on expensive fossil-fuel peaker plants during peak hours. Overnight generation also tends to be cleaner, with a higher share of wind in the mix.

Approximate costs

Typical system costs, savings, and payback

These are indicative figures based on common installs. Your exact recommendation and payback will depend on usage, tariff, and property setup.

How it works

From first call to first saving in four steps

01

Free home assessment

We come to you - or review everything remotely if you prefer. We'll look at your energy usage, current tariff, and home setup. You'll get a clear picture of what system makes sense and exactly what you can expect to save. No jargon, no pressure.

02

Right-size system design

We design the right battery system for your home, usage profile, and setup so you get the best performance and value.

03

Installation

Our engineers carry out the full installation. Most homes are done in around 6 hours. We leave the place tidy and the system fully commissioned and tested before we go.

04

Save Money

Your battery charges overnight when electricity is at its cheapest. During the day, you draw from stored power instead of the expensive grid. It runs itself — you just watch the savings add up.

FAQ

Questions we hear most often

No — and that's the whole point. The batteries charge from the grid overnight using cheap off-peak tariffs. You get most of the financial benefit of solar at a fraction of the upfront cost.
Any time-of-use tariff works well — Octopus Go is consistently one of the best. During your free assessment, we'll look at your current deal and tell you if switching could boost your savings further.
Most residential installs are done in around 6 hours. Our engineers will confirm timings beforehand. Everything is tested and commissioned before they leave — you'll be saving from that evening.
Yes. When the grid goes down, your battery switches over automatically in milliseconds — lights, fridge, broadband, and phone charging all stay on. Most homes can run for up to 18 hours on a fully charged battery.
The batteries we use have a built-in aerosol fire suppression system which activates if internal temperatures reach critical levels.
We ensure that the battery will only power your home, never your car.
Probably, it's somewhat nuanced. Overnight charging spreads grid demand evenly, reducing reliance on expensive fossil-fuel peaker plants which are less likely to run overnight. On windy or sunny days your battery can absorb surplus renewable energy that would otherwise go to waste.
