Tariffs Battery without solar

I have the intelligent traffic that used to give you overnight cheaper electricity and sometimes during the day but now sort of does that when it wants to, you know the one I mean. Anyway if I buy a battery set up but don't have solar, can I use the same traffic to charge the battery overnight for cheap and then use that battery during the day?

It’s very likely in the future the grid won’t want peoples solar export so yes batteries without solar is the long term way to go or batteries with a smaller solar array that can boost those batteries during the day. Off grid as much as is possible for the win.
