An energy storage system has a battery device, a first terminal, a second terminal, a capacitor device and a DC/DC converter. The first and second terminals are respectively connected two electrodes of the battery device, and the two electrodes have opposite polarities. The capacitor device is electrically connected to the first and second terminals in parallel. The DC/DC converter is electrically connected between the first terminal and the capacitor device. The battery device composed of at least one secondary battery and the capacitor device composed of at least one capacitor are electrically connected to each other in parallel, and by combining with the DC/DC converter, configuring the relation between the equivalent series resistor of the capacitor device and the internal resistor of the battery device, and/or configuring the upper current limit of the rated current of range the DC/DC converter, the battery cycle life is increased.
