Abstract
A battery () comprises a cell having a cathode compartment () that includes an element that is oxidized during charging of the battery (), wherein the oxidized element forms a salt with an acid and thereby increases the H+ concentration in the cathode compartment () sufficient to promote an H+ flux into the anode compartment () across the separator (), wherein the H+ flux across the separator () is sufficient to disintegrate a zinc dendrite proximal to the separator ().
