There is disclosed an improved battery assembly and process for operating same wherein a battery assembly comprised of bipolar electrodes disposed between an inert cathode current collector acting as a hydrogen electrode and an anode plate formed of a material selected from the group consisting of aluminum, magnesium, aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys and mixtures thereof is configured for electrolyte flow wherein the electrolyte includes hydrogen peroxide in an amount to provide 0.5 to about 30 volume percent solution.

Process and apparatus for operating a deferred actuated battery

An electrochemically active aluminum alloy is described which consists essentially of 0.01 to 0.20 percent by weight of indium, at least one of 0.01 to 0.25 percent by weight of manganese and 0.01 to 1.5 percent by weight magnesium, and the balance being aluminum preferably having a purity of at least 99.99 percent by weight. The alloy may contain up to 0.03 percent by weight of iron and preferably contains both manganese and magnesium. It is particularly useful as a battery anode with alkaline electrolytes.
