This chapter describes various important energy storage devices – batteries, ultracapacitors, flywheels – and the power source of fuel cells. It discusses practical methodologies to compute battery state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH). The stored energy in a battery depends on the terminal voltage and the amount of charge stored within it at a particular temperature. The depth of discharge is the amount of depletion that the battery has undergone during the discharge process. Specific power represents the rated power of the battery for a given weight. The advanced lead acid and lithium‐ion batteries are the most promising for application in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). While battery and ultracapacitor technologies have their respective advantages and disadvantages, hybridization could result in better vehicle performance and longer battery life. Fuel cells can help to replace the internal combustion engine, thus making it a completely electric vehicle.
