1. A battery storage method, comprising:
- obtaining a first group of reserve backup energy batteries of a first type;
connecting the first group of reserve energy batteries to a second group of main batteries of a second type to increase a total amount of available energy that is stored; and
connecting said first group of batteries and said second group of batteries to one or more inverters connected to a power grid such that DC power from the first group of batteries and the second group of batteries is available as converted AC power to the power grid.

Abstract
Approaches for providing backup energy services for a power grid are disclosed. In embodiments, methods and systems for obtaining a first group of reserve backup energy batteries of a first type, which have a different cost structure than a second group of main batteries of a second type. The first group of reserve batteries are combined with the second group of main batteries of the second type to increase a total amount of available energy that is stored and converting DC power from the first group of batteries and the second group of batteries to AC power to be used for power distribution to the grid.
