Abstract
A metal-halogen battery, specifically a zinc-bromine battery of the rechargeable type, is disclosed herein and includes a housing, spaced positive and negative electrode plates located within the housing and an arrangement for providing continuous flow of electrolyte solution through the housing between the plates. This battery also includes a network of electrically non-conductive projecting ribs which engage the negative electrode plate for providing a fixed spacing between the two plates but which, at the same time, are specifically designed to reduce dendrite growth.
