Anyone in electronic for 43 years knows real progress, development and investments has been with capacitors, with market exploding to over half a million types. Batteries on the other hand is dying tech and has not managed to grow beyond some hundred types.
Capacitors is heart and soul of electronics, batteries is in the realms of consumer gadgetry. Batteries is kind of a embarrassment for real electronic guys.
Don't care what you think, i know how very well how much time wasted with detours and hanging on a cable when trying to get something done.

Yeah. Anyone in electronics for A MONTH knows batteries and capacitors are the same thing. A battery is just a very big capacitor.
Also, anyone in electronics knows "progress" is not measured by the number of new technologies found, but by the quality of the technologies.
BTW, capacitors are not the heart of electronics: semiconductors are.

No, sir. Batteries and capacitors are different tech.
Also, for any given quantity of energy, a capacitor will always be much bigger, and heavier, than a battery.

Actually Biden and BernyJB the same.

Capacitor are electical charged, Battery store chemical energy.
Capacitor can have crazy fast charge-discharge cycle, doing it with a Battery gives a nice fire.
Capacitor can be AC (run/start AC motor) or DC, no such thing as a AC Battery.
Capacitor long life span (million plus cycles), Battery much shorter lifespan (less than 1k)
Capacitor energy stored is less then 10 Wh/kg with Batteries is over 100
Capacitor power per kg can be almost 10000 watt, Batterie maxes out at about 3k
Not sure but i think there is no such thing as a current regulator for capacitor, its either on or not.
Capacitor is active development, Batterie is more or less dead tech, cheaper better systems of energy storage is available
