Best Answer

Because batteries have fixed polarity, whereas AC requires that the polarity is switched, normally 50-60 times per second.

Why can not you store AC power in battery like DC power?

Because ac is of changing polarity. It means the positive terminal becomes negative and vice versa... And this happens 60 times a second! So if we want store this, the terminals of the battery should be changed at the same speed as that of the supply which is not practicable ( and in theory it can be done by a electronic switch which constantly changes its polarity). So its better to convert this ac to dc, store it and then again to ac as in the case of a UPS.
