If you are off the grid, what kind of batteries do you have?

Our system is grid-tied, and frankly, I don’t know of anyone who had grid power who decided to disconnect after getting solar. The only people who seem to be off-grid are those who never had access to the grid in the first place (remote cabins).
As for batteries, there is a good forum on which to ask that question: http://www.wind-sun.com/ForumVB/index.php . Lead-acid AGM batteries are common.
