Several things, depending on the type of potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy: Any object that is above the chosen reference level (often the ground level) has positive potential energy. Anything below the chosen reference level has negative potential energy.
Elastic potential energy: For example, a compressed spring.
Chemical energy: For example, hydrogen and oxygen separately have a higher energy level than when they combine into water.

What do chemical bonds store?
Chemical bonds store potential energy.
What form of energy do living things into mechanical energy and thermal energy?
Energy can change from one form to another.For example,living things store potential energy as chemical energy.
How does a rubber band store potential energy?
potential energy
Is potential energy the same as energy being conserved?
Not really... Kinda? Potential energy is the total possible energy based on position. Ex: A rock on the floor will have less potential energy (since it's on the floor and it wont have energy since it's not moving), than a rock 100 meters in the air. (More potential energy since it will falling). Or a rubber band being pulled back has more potential energy than when its not pulled. Conserve means to save/store, and things cant really "store" energy.
Is battery potential or kinetic energy?
Batteries store potential energy, But after you connect it to the circuit then it converts to KINETIC ENERGY!
The nucleus of an atom can store what kind of energy?
potential energy
Is gasoline kinetic or potential energy?
It can be both, potential energy whilst in store, but kinetic energy when put to practical use.
How does a pulley store potential energy?
Penis
What are two ways a spring can store elastic potential energy?
A spring can store elastic potential energy by someone/something squeezing or pulling the spring
How do you convert electrical energy into potential energy?
You can use the electricity to pump water up into a high reservoir, where it then has mechanical potential energy. Or store it in a battery - chemical potential energy.
Does a dam store up chemical energy?
No it stores potential energy.
What is one way to store a lot of potential energy in the magnetic field of the two interacting magnets?
You can store energy in a rubber band by stretching it, and this potential energy becomes kinetic energy when you let go
