UK mains electricity operates at a nominal voltage of 230 V (+10%/-6%), at 50 Hz.
Mains electricity is nothing but main source of power in an installation. From the mains the power is then branched out to different end usage.
The frequency that electricity is generated at in the UK is 50 Hertz.
Mains refer to the general-purpose alternating current (AC) electric power supply. In the UK, households receive 230v of electricity for normal house hold use at a frequency of 50Hz. The advantage attached with the use of alternating current is the ease with which it can be stepped up or down to suit the purpose using a transformer.
Not without a suitable mains adapter to charge the battery. The UK mains voltage is 230 Volts - the US mains runs at just 110 colts.

It depends what country you're in. Here in the UK, the mains voltage is 230 volts.
Storing energy is difficult and mains electricity is no exception. Most mains energy is generated at the moment it is used. Enough generators have to be kept on line to supply the demand at every moment. To achieve this engineers are continuously monitoring the power supply to make that supply is matched to the demand. When an extra load is put on the grid, there is usually enough kinetic energy stored in the rotating parts of the generators to supply the short-term demand. When the generator slows momentarily, the controller will call up more steam from the boilers to supply the shortfall. Contracts for supplying electric power to the UK grid are negotiated in 30-second slots all the time.
In the UK, the term, 'mains', refers to the supply voltage provided by the distribution system. In most residential properties, the mains' supply is single phase (there are exceptions: some European countries have three-phase supplies), in which case you cannot 'wire' a three-phase load such as an induction motor into the mains.
