battery in series with the grid

I was thinking about battery bias,using a battery to apply negative V to the grid, when an internet search on this subject led me to Tubecad, where John Brosky once proposed putting the battery in series with the signal to the grid, negative terminal toward the grid pin, positive terminal toward the signal source coupling capacitor. He additionally mentioned bypassing the battery with a small value capacitor. This topology and the idea to do it are entirely novel to me. Has anyone ever tried it? Does anyone have a good reason not to do it? Thanks.
