A hybrid energy storage system stores energy both thermally and electrochemically using the same energy storage media. In one implementation, the system includes a battery, a connection for receiving electrical energy, and a heat transfer medium. The battery has a cathode medium and an anode medium. At least some of the received electrical energy is stored electrochemically in the battery, and energy is stored thermally by heating the cathode medium and the anode medium with thermal energy received from the heat transfer medium. |
