The battery is preferably constructed to include a supply reel having a rotatable core upon which said strip of tape is wound in a cylindrical configuration with the inner winding of tape extending from said core and being threaded through said electrochemically active compartment before being connected back into the electrochemically inactive compartment and wound as the outer winding around the core of the supply reel.Field of SearchMeans moves electrodeRotary motion 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 Frangible separation means Activation of inactive cell Tape or flexible-type cell including tape fuel cells or subcombination thereof |
