Well a lightning bolt solved that problem, so...

  Do you think the flux capacitor played a role in storing the energy?

    Why store the energy, when you can just send it forward in time?

      Hmm. Maybe it’s a mini Time Machine that steals energy from the future to power full scale time travel? Sort of like a time travel boot loader?

  So say 10 gigawatts over 50 microseconds. So you could charge it up in about 3½ minutes from a standard residential outlet.

    Wikipedia says a typical lightning bolt releases 1 GJ, so 10 GW you can have for 100 ms, for 50 µs you can have 20 TW. And most importantly 1.21 GW for the better part of a second, 826 ms to be precise.
