A static electrical charge is carried on an insulating material. This is usually in the form of an excess of electrons attached to the insulator. A static charge may only be carried on the outside of a container - for the usual laws of repulsion apply.

You could also consider the charge carried by a capacitor to be a static charge - in this case, the charge is carried in the form of distortion of the molecules of the insulator internal to the capacitor. A form of piezo charge.

Another possibility would be the charge carried inside a chemical cell, which is generated by the reactions inside. Commonly miscalled a battery, though that name strictly applies to an assembly of cells, not a single one.
