Fenland Council has given Newling Fruit Growers planning permission to install the system to store power generated by solar panels at its site at Gorefield, near Wisbech.
A planning statement said: "The proposal represents sustainable development that will improve the environment through supporting renewable energy use at the facility, complementing the existing solar and reducing loss from the system.
"It will allow energy to be stored and used at a later date, reducing reliance upon the grid. This will deliver economic benefits for the business on site, safeguarding them from volatile external electricity costs."
It adds the proposal is "modest in scale" and the 2.5m-high unit will not harm the surrounding landscape.
The battery unit will be housed in a secure security cage with front and rear doors to allow access for maintenance.
