• Abstract: We investigate extractable work storage in a capacitively coupled double quantum dot (DQD) quantum battery (QB) subjected to experimentally motivated detuning charge noise. The battery is modeled as two interacting charge qubits with an Ising-type capacitive coupling and is charged by resonant microwave modulation of the tunnel coupling channel. Detuning fluctuations are introduced as classical stochastic processes generated from a band-limited 1/f noise spectrum. For each noise realization, the evolution remains unitary, whereas decoherence and loss of contrast emerge after ensemble averaging. We analyze the total ergotropy, its population and coherent contributions, the energy basis populations, a passive ordering violation diagnostic, and the Jensen-Shannon coherence of the noise-averaged state. The results show that resonant tunnel coupling driving selects a dominant E0 <-> E3 population transfer channel in the interacting DQD spectrum. The dominant extractable work is stored in non-passive population distributions, in agreement with recent population ordering interpretations of ergotropy in QBs, while coherence accompanies and supports the resonant transfer as a transient dynamical resource. Detuning noise reduces the energy basis coherence amplitude and also weakens the population transfer pathway responsible for the dominant population ergotropy. This framework provides a noise-aware description of semiconductor QB charging based on extractable work rather than on injected energy alone.
