Batteries do, to a degree. That's not what they're designed for though.

But it's one of the things they're *used* for.
Do you want to email Bill Darden and tell him he's wrong?

Batteries most definitely do have capacitance, do you have a meter?
Batteries most definitely do store energy when charged. Or are you
suggesting that when it is used up that more is created out of nothing?

The plates of a battery have capacitance.
They are charged by the chemical reaction.

Capacitors are electrostatic while batteries are electrochemical.
A capacitor capable of storing the energy within a car battery and power
capability needed to start a car would be the size of a double long semi.
