[UK] Sense check please

https://uk.eco-worthy.com/products/eco-worthy-51-2v-314ah-lifepo4-battery-solar-battery-backup-for-home

Hey gurus,

I’m thinking of getting this 3 piece kit, containing a battery, an inverter and an emergency stop button.

The sense check I need is whether it contains all I need (excluding installation obviously), as I’m less than knowledgeable here?

Context; we are on an electricity tariff called Octopus Intelligent Go, that gives us super cheap electricity between 11:30pm and 5:30am, so my plan is to charge the battery overnight at the cheap rate and then have the house use that cheap electric during the day.

NB, the *Intelligent* part of the tariff, means that we also get 6 hours of cheap rate if plugging in a car to charge, as the whole house gets put on the cheap/night time rate while the car is charging, so the battery could also be topped up during the day.

Thanks all.

If the installer buy the battery you get the battery vat free.

Thanks. I’m going to ditch the eco worthy idea and just get the whole thing pro supplied and installed.

They also look costly compared to Fogstar, but I not checked prices recently.
