The present invention relates to a device (10) for storing and restoring electrical energy comprising a chamber (100) in which water electrolysis means (110), a fuel cell (120), and monitoring/control means (130) for monitoring the operation of said device (10) in the fuel cell mode or the electrolyzer mode are arranged. Connection means (141) enable said chamber (110) to be connected to storage means (210) for storing dihydrogen (H2), which are outside of said chamber (110). La presente invención se relaciona con un dispositivo (10) de almacenamiento y restitución de energía eléctrica, el cual incluye un recinto (100) en el cual están dispuestos medios de electrolisis del agua (110), una celda de combustible (120) y medios de control-comando (130) para controlar el funcionamiento de dicho dispositivo (10) en modo celda de combustible o en modo de electrolizador; medios de conexión (141) que facilitan la conexión de dicho recinto (110) con medios de almacenamiento (210) de dihidrógeno (H2) externos a dicho recinto (110).
