1. A system for energy management, the system comprising:
a plurality of energy storage units that include a supercapacitor and an electrochemical battery; and
an energy controller that tracks historical power draw rate from the plurality of energy storage units over time in power tracking data, wherein the energy controller identifies a power draw rate based on the power tracking data, wherein the energy controller switches between a first configuration and a second configuration based on the identified power draw rate crossing a threshold power draw rate, wherein a load draws power from the electrochemical battery and disconnects from the supercapacitor while the energy controller is in the first configuration, wherein the load draws drawing power from the supercapacitor and disconnects from the electrochemical battery while the energy controller is in the second configuration.
