Power selected appliances
Charge from a normal socket, then connect suitable appliances to the battery's own output. Check running and start-up power first.
PLUG-IN BATTERIES · FROM £999
Store cheaper electricity. Use it your way.
Charge a battery from a wall socket and power suitable appliances from its own outlet today. If you want stored energy across household circuits, choose professional installation where the selected model and your home qualify.
Choose professional installation
Where the exact model and property qualify, a qualified installer can connect it as a conventional household battery.
Keep the routes separate
The 2026 solar-only rules do not approve self-installed battery discharge into household wiring through a plug.
GOOD EVERYDAY LOADS
Start with steady, useful devices.
Direct appliance use is clearest when you know what stays connected and how much power it needs.
Fridge or freezer
Broadband router and network
Home-office equipment
Aquarium circulation equipment
Boiler or heat-pump controls
Lights and device charging
Check two numbers: normal running watts and the short start-up surge. A compressor or motor can need much more power for a few seconds. Do not infer that a battery can run a complete heat pump from capacity alone.
CURRENT RANGE
Compare the actual model and output.
Professional installation
A qualifying battery can be connected as a conventional household system. We verify the exact model, consumer unit, output, DNO route and any backup equipment before work is agreed.
Read how installation works →The legal distinction
Charging a battery and using its own outlet is not the same as feeding household wiring. The solar-only 2026 change does not approve the latter for self-install batteries.
What you can use today →Common questions
Can I use a battery without solar?
Yes. Charge it during a cheaper tariff window, then use the stored energy later through suitable appliances or a qualifying installed configuration.
Can it power a fridge or home office?
Often, provided the appliance's running watts and start-up surge fit the selected battery outlet. Check the appliance label and battery manual.
Can it run a heat pump?
Do not assume so. Heating controls or pumps may be modest loads, but the full heat pump can draw much more. The exact appliance and battery must be checked together.
Can it be professionally installed?
Yes where the model and property qualify. A survey confirms the output, cable route, network process and whether backup equipment is included.
Is it future-ready?
Some hardware may support additional connection modes, but future UK certification or approval is not guaranteed.
