Rechargeable energy storage system

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

As it stands this article is a WP:DICDEF. Guy (Help!) 13:20, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * keep not a dicdef. And the definition within is of a thing, not of a word. And the thing is a notable technical concept. - üser:Altenmann >t 16:03, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * In what way is it distinct from kinetic energy recovery system? Based on what reliable independent sources? Guy (Help!) 11:23, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. No indication of notability, no indication that it is a thing rather than a word, as User:Altenmann said above. As far as I can tell, it's just a very specific type of battery. - Iago Qnsi (talk) 01:18, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * You got it upside down. This is not a very specific type of battery, but exactly opposite: a very broad type of energy storage, which patent writers love to use, to cover as much ground as possible. For example, in addition to classical batteries, the definition of "RESS" covers capacitor banks and other fancy rocket science gadgets. - üser:Altenmann >t 05:26, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * As for "no indication of notability", did you try to search google 63,000 hits? Discussion aplenty. - üser:Altenmann >t 05:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * That is a textbook example of WP:GOOGLEHITS. Providing a single but adequate source would be more helpful... Tigraan (talk) 09:57, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge relevant bits to Hybrid vehicle This is a term used in the hybrid vehicle field to encompass the many forms of rechargeable energy storage used in these vehicles. A simple Google search shows that the term is verifiable e.g., SAE standard. The term was probably created by GM. While the field of rechargeable energy sources is huge, it isn't clear to me that this term is the mainstream term for it and I have not found in-depth RS discussing the term itself. Nonetheless, it is used in the HV field and I think it fits nicely as at least one of the standard terms used to describe the varied RESS listed in the section Hybrid vehicle, which is just a bare list at the moment. --Mark viking (talk) 20:53, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

 * delete, or possibly redirect to some appropriate energy-storage title, but I'm not sure what that would be. As it stands now, this is a classic WP:DICTDEF.  It may be an interesting topic, it's just not an encyclopedia article.  -- RoySmith (talk) 01:28, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
