The useful number is energy you can cycle, not the size in a product name. Compare usable kilowatt-hours on Leicester battery offers.
START WITH THE PROPERTY
Translate the model name into usable energy
Battery marketing can emphasise nominal size. For a Leicester enquiry, bring a recent bill and a rough evening-use pattern, then ask how much energy the proposed unit can actually deliver.
BEFORE YOU ACCEPT A QUOTE
Check the working range
Compare usable kilowatt-hours, power output and warranty terms on the same basis. A large nominal capacity is less helpful if the household cannot charge it regularly or draw the power needed at busy times.
ILLUSTRATIVE QUOTE COMPARISON
Could a smaller battery deliver more useful energy?
Another smaller unit fits measured evening use and export more closely.
THE DECISION
Ask how often each unit would complete a useful cycle across the year. Match usable capacity to an energy flow that actually exists.

Look at the connection as well.
A usable-capacity figure cannot show whether the battery works with an existing inverter or chosen tariff. Send equipment labels and ask how the controls will operate.
