The energy devices include, for example: an ultra-capacitor structure having a power input terminal; and a battery structure electrically connected to the ultra-capacitor structure via a switching element, the switching element being selectively controllable between a first state and a second state, wherein the first state functions as a pass through to electrically connect the battery structure to the power input terminal of the ultra-capacitor structure, and the second state functions to electrically isolate the battery structure from the power input terminal of the ultra-capacitor structure. The methods include: selectively charging the battery structure through the ultra-capacitor structure using at least a portion of the electrical power provided to the power input terminal thereof.
