I need to go look up the internals of batteries, but the first option is interesting. The second option is basically the flywheel suggestion, except with compressed gas instead of a spinning wheel. At that point you require a second power system, and it's probably better to refill on gas/diesel and be done with it.

In our estimates compressed air can be comparable to gas in capital cost, and far less expensive in lifetime cost. The technical development required is substantial though.
