Honestly do not know where it stores the power. It charges whatever it charges with light (supposedly including indoor lighting) and physical movement. Had it 5 years and have gone months without wearing it in some instances, and the time stays accurate
Found out something new myself based on this little exchange between us, I wouldn't have looked up the wiki otherwise. Pretty cool that they estimate they've saved over 10 million watch batteries from hitting a landfill. Makes me like the watch even more. There's no reason this shouldn't be standard tech for any watch over like $100. Not like the high end, super accurate, luxury watches, but you know what I mean
