A battery of electrochemical cells employing several identical housing sections of conductive material stacked in a series arrangement with insulation between them at the points of connection. Each two adjacent housing sections form an enclosed chamber. Each chamber contains the electrochemical system of an electrochemical cell with the anode members in contact with one of the housing sections forming the chamber and the cathode members in contact with the other of the housing sections forming the chamber. The electrochemical cells within each chamber form a battery of cells arranged in series both physically and electrically with each housing section serving as the positive terminal for the cell of one chamber and the negative terminal for the cell of an adjacent chamber.

Electrochemical battery

A reserve battery of electrochemical cells employing several housing sections of conductive material stacked in a series arrangement with insulation at the points of connection. Each two adjacent housing sections form a chamber. Each chamber contains anode members in contact with one of the housing sections forming the chamber and cathode members in contact with the other of the housing sections forming the chamber. A central conduit through the stack of housing sections is formed by inner walls of the housing sections. Holes in these walls provide passageways from the conduit into the chambers. To activate the cells an electrolytic solution stored in a reservoir is forced into the conduit and through the passageways into each chamber. A series of one-way valves along the conduit physically and electrically seal off the solution in each chamber from that in every other chamber. Thus, each chamber contains an activated electrochemical cell with the cells connected in series to provide a battery.
