You can't really 'store' energy if you are referring to electrical energy. The closest you'd get is a capacitor. Although a battery may seem like it stores energy it doesn't really it relies on a chemical reaction to produce electricity.
A spring can store mechanical energy and be made to slowly release that energy - that's how wrist watches and the like work.
There are otherways to store energy as well such as damning a lake and releasing the water in the lake via a damn. In Wales they do this. They pump the water up a mountain at night when electricity is cheap and release it during the day when it's expensive. Odd effect of market economics because it's highly inificient.

What device can turn electrical energy into chemical energy?
A rechargeable battery. (The battery in your cellphone, or the one in your car.) When it's empty, you connect it to a source of electrical energy. The battery stores the electrical in the form of chemical.
What is the difference between a resistance and a capacitor?
resistance refers to the resistance of flow of electric current wile a capacitor is an electric device that stores energy.
What is a device that stores energy?
Many call batteries this but there are others such as a chemical called ATP.
What mechanical device physically prevents the transmission or release of energy?
energy-isolation device
What device converts mechanical energy to electrical energy?
name a device that convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy
What electrial device stores energy?
That could be a power cell (battery), or more correctly, a capacitor.
What is the term used to describe the ability of a device to store energy in the form of an electrical charge?
Simply put, an electronic device that stores charge is a capacitor.
Why no power loss in pure inductance?
An inductor is a device which stores energy as a magnetic energy.... Ideal inductor have no resistance.....so there is no power loss.... power loss = (I*I)*R
What generates electrical energy from chemical energy?
A battery stores chemical energy creating a voltage or potential difference that is the potential to do work.When a battery is connected to an electrical device, current flow and is so the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy.

Where is the power stored when not in use?
Energy storage is accomplished by devices or physical media that store some form of energy to perform some useful operation at a later time. A device that stores energy is sometimes called an accumulator.
What is a device that stores energy?
Many call batteries this but there are others such as a chemical called ATP.
What is the device that converts mechanical energy to AC electrical energy?
The device which convert mechanical energy in to electrical energy is "Dynamo".
Is a battery considered electricity?
The battery is not electricity. A battery is a device that stores energy in the form of chemical energy. When energy is taken out of the battery, it comes out in the form of electrical energy. And if the battery is rechargable, then energy is put into it also in the form of electrical energy. A2. There is sometimes a confusion, amongst non-technical people when discussing electrical items. A distinction is made between an AC mains operated device and a battery operated device. Calling the mains device 'electric' and the other 'battery'. A battery operated device is also 'electric', The current is DC and the voltage usually a lot lower (and safer) than the domestic supply. So yes. A battery operated device is electric. Batteries do produce electricity.
What mechanical device physically prevents the transmission or release of energy?
energy-isolation device
A device that uses chemicals to generate and store electricity?
Energy storage is accomplished by devices or physical media that store energy to perform useful operation at a later time. A device that stores energy is sometimes called an accumulator.All forms of energy are either potential energy (e.g. Chemical, gravitational, electrical energy, etc.) or kinetic energy (e.g. thermal energy). A wind-up clock stores potential energy (in this case mechanical, in the spring tension), abattery stores readily convertible chemical energy to operate a mobile phone, and a hydroelectric dam stores energy in a reservoir as gravitational potential energy. Ice storage tanks store ice (thermal energy) at night to meet peak demand for cooling. Fossil fuels such as coal and gasoline store ancient energy derived from sunlight by organisms that later died, became buried and over time were then converted into these fuels. Even food (which is made by the same process as fossil fuels) is a form of energy stored in chemical form.
