Energy storage radiators are disclosed. The structure of the radiator may be used as a battery to store and release energy, as well as serving to regulate the temperature of that battery and the associated device or vehicle. The structure may be configured to provide mechanical support, an enclosure, an attachment point, or an extension for a vehicle or a device. By designing an energy storage radiator to function as a battery, a separate battery superstructure may not be required. Also, the heat to be radiated away can be used to keep the battery in its operating temperature range. This may provide mass reduction of the radiator structures or materials, as well as make those materials multifunctional and replace material elsewhere with respect to conventional systems.
