More Information
Summary:An electric storage battery is provided wherein the electrolyte is transferred under pressure of an inert gas to a reservoir for containment during periods of non-use of the battery. The inert gas also serves to blanket the battery electrodes during such non-use periods, preventing oxidation while not exposed to electrolyte. Thus, there is no discharge of the battery during even prolonged periods of non-use and on return of the electrolyte to the battery cells the battery is in ready condition for use at relatively full charge.
