For example, Scott Little once showed data from a rechargable battery placed in a calorimeter. While the battery charged up, there was a heat deficit. The battery was then connected to resistance heater inside the calorimeter. The total energy from heat it produced was very close to the deficit during the endothermic phase. Even if there was some exotic storage mechanism, "based on nuclear boosting/storage of some kind - such as weak force hypercharge pumping" or what-have-you, it would show up as a heat deficit. Because all energy always ends up as heat. The only other situation (not an exception, per se) would be a heat deficit caused by particles escaping undetected from the calorimeter. That would be dangerous! It would not result in energy storage. - Jed
