Abstract
A method of maintaining health of a flow battery includes determining an average oxidation state of a common electrochemically active elemental specie in first and second fluid electrolytes on, respectively, a positive side and a negative side of an electrochemical cell of a flow battery, and adjusting the average oxidation state in response to the average oxidation state deviating from a predefined average oxidation state value.
