| 20100079109 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR STORING ELECTRICITY - In some embodiments, a system includes a battery and a capacitor bank. The battery is electrically coupled to a load device and is configured to supply power to the load device when the system is in a first configuration. The system is in the first configuration when a current requirement of the load device is less than a current threshold. The capacitor bank includes a plurality of capacitors and is electrically coupled to the battery when the system is in a second configuration. The battery and the capacitor bank are configured to collectively provide power to the load device when the system is in the second configuration. The system is in the second configuration when the current requirement of the load device is greater than the current threshold. | 04-01-2010 |
