The present disclosure is within the field of capacitive electrical energy storage, to supply electric or hybrid vehicles. It relates to a reconfigurable electrical energy storage device, wherein the internal connections between the different energy storage modules is modifiable. n The device includes:n M×N storage modules, where M and N are strictly positive natural numbers, each storage module storing electrical energy by capacitive effect between a negative terminal and a positive terminal; contactors arranged to order to make it possible to connect by their terminals M 1 ×N i storage modules, in different combinations, each combination denoted by an index i including M i branches connected in parallel, each branch including N i storage modules connected in series, where M i ×N i ≤M×N; and positive and negative electrical connection terminals to which are capable of being connected, in each combination, the ends of the branches connected in parallel. |
