We characterize for the first time performances of IBM quantum chips as batteries, specifically addressing single-qubit Armonk processor. By exploiting Pulse access enabled to some Quantum processors via Qiskit package, we investigate advantages and limitations different profiles classical drives used charge these miniaturized establishing optimal compromise between charging stored energy.
