A storage system comprises an electrical energy store 4, preferably in the form of one or more batteries, supported by a chassis or casing 6 configured to at least partially enclose the energy store. A mounting structure 2 is configured to mount the chassis or casing to a support structure 8, such as a wall or the ground or floor. One or more decorative panels (24, Fig 2) is removably attached to the exterior of the chassis or casing. The panel(s) may be secured to the chassis by clip-fixing, snap-fixing and/or magnetic attraction, and may extend continuously around a periphery of the chassis or casing. Vent apertures (64/68, Fig 6) may be provided in the chassis and/or removable panel. The mounting structure may comprise a framework or lattice 10 surrounding the chassis or casing, so that it supports at least a portion of its weight. An illumination device (32, Fig 3) may be provided, preferably surrounding the chassis and/or mounting structure. An electrical power convertor may be supported by the chassis along with the batteries. The invention provides a practical and aesthetic solution for mounting batteries within a home or commercial environment, such that it can be visually prominent.
