Short plain-English definitions of the battery, tariff and grid terms that show up on Habo Energy guides, with links to the full pages.

https://haboenergy.co.uk/home-battery-payback-period 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z

Payback period is installed price divided by yearly saving. For Habo's 5 kWh EcoFlow STREAM at £2,499 on current Octopus Go (which needs an EV charged at home), best-case payback is about 4.7 to 5.5 years.

https://haboenergy.co.uk/kwh-vs-kw 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z

kWh measures energy stored or used over time. kW measures power delivered at one moment. Why both matter when you size a home battery.

https://haboenergy.co.uk/usable-vs-total-battery-capacity 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z

Total capacity is the labelled kWh. Usable capacity is what you can actually charge and discharge. How to compare home battery quotes on a like-for-like basis.

https://haboenergy.co.uk/what-is-a-dno 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z

https://haboenergy.co.uk/what-is-a-plug-in-battery 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z

A plug-in battery charges from a socket and powers devices from its own outlets. Ofgem's DCRP/MP/26/02 decision says plug-in electricity storage remains prohibited from being sold, supplied or used in the UK.

https://haboenergy.co.uk/what-is-a-standing-charge 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z

https://haboenergy.co.uk/what-is-a-time-of-use-tariff 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z

A time-of-use tariff charges different electricity unit rates at different times of day. Why that price gap is what makes a home battery pay for itself.

https://haboenergy.co.uk/what-is-a-unit-rate 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z

A unit rate is the price of one kilowatt-hour of electricity or gas, usually in pence per kWh. How import and export unit rates drive home battery maths.

https://haboenergy.co.uk/what-is-an-export-tariff 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z

An export tariff is the rate your supplier pays for each kilowatt-hour your home sends to the grid. How it differs from SEG, and when a battery beats exporting.

https://haboenergy.co.uk/what-is-depth-of-discharge 2026-10-28T00:00:00Z
