In the preferred arrangement the moving conveyor containing the electrolyte is progressively advanced through the interface spacing between the anode and cathode while the interface spacing is maintained substantially constant even as the anode is consumed. Battery operation is terminated by separating the engaging surfaces of the anode and/or cathode from the moving conveyor and is reestablished by reengaging the anode and/or cathode surfaces with the moving conveyor.Field of SearchCirculating or feeding electrolyteActive material electrode-type cell or subcombination thereof PROCESS OF CELL OPERATION Electrolyte circulation Activation of inactive cell HAVING MOVABLE MECHANICAL MEANS TO PROVIDE RELATIVE MOTION BETWEEN ELECTRODE AND ELECTROLYTE Means moves electrode HAVING SPECIFIED VENTING, FEEDING OR CIRCULATION STRUCTURE (OTHER THAN FEEDING OR FILLING FOR ACTIVATING DEFERRED ACTION-TYPE BATTERY) DEFERRED ACTION TYPE Responsive to movement of electrode on contained electrolyte Tape or flexible-type cell including tape fuel cells or subcombination thereof |
