Yep, all batteries and capacitors amount to is electron storage devices.
Capacitors are much more prone to becoming coulomb bombs than batteries mostly because they are designed to discharge quickly, which is what makes them implicitly good bombs. It doesn't take much electron movement to make an explosion.
In fact, this is how alkali metals react with water. We learnt that only in the past few years.
