A mechanical component for electrochemical batteries having porous members. A disc has two or more circular grooves in one side. The grooves are intended to accept the porous members and an electrode member of the battery. The opposite side of the disc has one or more radial channels which intersect with the circular grooves. When used in a battery, the component facilitates distribution of electrolyte, while also minimizing electrolyte leakage between cells.

Battery component

A battery has first and second polarity circular electrodes within a circular housing. At least one bipolar electrode is interposed between the first and second polarity circular electrodes. Porous separators are located between electrodes. The cell also includes an electrolyte solution. Electric current is coupled from the first and second cylindrical electrodes.

Cylindrical bipolar electrode battery

A electrochemical cell has a generally cylindrical battery stack comprised of disc-shaped components including atlernating first polarity electrodes and second polarity electrodes. Pairs of first polarity electrodes are coupled by ring-shaped couling members. The coupling members include radial channels such as grooves which allow the passage of a liquid cell component from a central well into the battery stack.

Electrochemical cell having coupling members with radial channels

An electrochemical cell has a generally cylindrical battery stack comprised of disc-shaped components including alternating first polarity electrodes and second polarity electrodes. Adjacent first polarity electrodes are coupled by ring-shaped coupling members. The coupling members are made of porous metal which allows the passage of a liquid cell component from a central well into the battery stack.

Electrochemical cell having porous metal coupling members

A reserve type electrochemical cell has its liquid cell component left separate in a rupturable envelope separate from the battery stack. The envelope is located within a sleeve in a well at the center of the battery stack. Piercing means are arranged in recesses along the side of the sleeve. If the cell is spun about its axis, the liquid cell component forces the part of the envelope into the recesses where it is ruptured, thereby discharging the liquid cell component into the battery stack.

Spin released reservoir for electrochemical cells and like articles

A battery stack has a plurality of inner frames and a plurality of outer frames. Pairs of inner and outer rings are connected by a web of porous insulating material which separates battery plates. The frames are fused together forming a unity housing with an inner electrolyte well.
