A dual air electrode metal-air cell having a casing including an upper cathode mask wall, a lower cathode mask wall, and a plurality of side walls; a metal anode with at least upper and lower sides covered with separator materials; an upper air cathode positioned between the upper cathode mask wall and the separator materials on the upper side of the anode; a lower air cathode positioned between the lower cathode mask wall and the separator materials on the lower side of the anode; a gas vent positioned on one or more of the side walls of the casing; and a liquid electrolyte substantially trapped by the separator materials. The separator materials comprise one ore more layers of an absorbent fibrous web and one or more layers of a microporous membrane that, when wet, is gas-impermeable and liquid-permeable.
