The Germans had to fly over the channel, which meant the fighers had a limited amount of fuel to fight whereas the British fighters would have more fuel and the ability to get re-fueled and come back The British could recover more pilots who had to ditch because they landed in Britain and also got more damaged planes back The British had a radar which could detect the German planes in the channel The Germans had poor strategy. Part of the way through the battle, the Germans switched to bombing London. While this terrorized the civilians in London, it allowed Fighter Command to recover from when they were the target earlier in the battle and provided a fixed target that Fighter Command could assume all bombers were heading for Britain had more able allies than the Germans
Britain's main disadvantage is that she wasn't prepared for global war despite declaring war on Germany with France in 1939 Most British and French tactics were out dated compared to that of Germany. Britain deployed her tanks in infantry support roles in small numbers unlike the German army that made full use of mass formations of tanks.
Of course these mistakes were fixed soon after the Battle of France and new tactics were developed in the North African campaign against the Afrika Korps and Italian Armies.
Britain had developed coastal radar stations which gave them advance knowledge of impending air attacks. Having this knowledge enable the Royal Air Force to concentrate their defending fighters in the area of an attack.
