Battery
It can be, but just for an initial charge-up and surge power. The capacitor is charged to the voltage of the battery and then delivers surge power as needed. A battery delivers power to a load over a long period of time. A capacitor delivers all its power in one go to the load and then needs to be recharged.
Maritime
Batteries on ships can be used for energy storage for hybrid marine power (HMP) & electrical propulsion systems, emergency backup power, or as part of a renewable energy solution. Batteries are also used to start motors for lifeboats, rescue boats & and emergency generators.
