Then the battery becomes the feed. This is what batteries are for. They discharge in place of mains.

I get that, I work in a facility that has an ATS/UPS/Battery Bank/GenSet. But when the batteries go flat what happens then?

Solar, this is Vermont I lived in NH. Not the best Sun in the winter when the power goes out. Genset? This defeats the purpose of having batteries.
