The point is it doesn't leak because it doesn't actually store energy. It takes 100k joules to make a box that will generate 80k joules over its lifetime. But you can make it here, where and when energy is plentiful, and put it there, where energy is scarce. That's effectively energy storage, if not technically.

It would likely also cost a very large multiple of that to transport it to the location where energy is scarce. A nice high quality battery with plenty of reserve power would likely be much cheaper, easier to interface to and easier to transport. There are batteries with a 20 year shelf life.
