An energy management module (EMM) configured to electrically interconnect at least one first energy storage unit, at least one second energy storage unit, and a power bus; and configured to select a mode of operation. Each first energy storage unit has a first permissible charge rate; each second energy storage unit has a second permissible charge rate less than the first permissible charge rate. Under an energy storage mode of operation, the EMM is configured to allocate electrical current from the power bus among the first and second energy storage units. Under an energy balance mode of operation, the EMM is configured to transfer electrical charge among the first energy storage unit(s) and the second energy storage unit(s). Under an energy discharge mode of operation, the EMM is configured to deliver electrical current from the first and second energy storage units to the power bus.
