Battery storage to run Heat Pump.
@jamespa jumping on this thread late, and I'm of a similar opinion to you, I've been getting quotes every few years for a battery.
The payback has gone from none whatsoever, to marginal. Prices have stayed fairly static, while capacity (including depth of discharge), power, warranty and safety have improved, so better value overall.
I'm hopeful that the newer Sodium Ion chemistry launched by BYD for their small affordable domestic car market may soon find it's way into stationery battery storage.
In theory that could mark the point at which home batteries become really affordable, even safer, and work in the cold without heaters etc. 🤞
