Abstract
A zinc secondary battery in which a plurality of battery cells are separated by bipolar plates which provide electrical conductivity between the cells and in which the battery cells and bipolar plates are arranged horizontally in a vertical stack.
Claims19
A zinc secondary battery comprising:
- a plurality of battery cells, said plurality of battery cells constituting all the battery cells in said battery and each battery cell comprising:
- a zinc negative electrode;
- and an opposing positive electrode;
- a number of conductive bipolar plates, each of said bipolar plates having opposing first and second surfaces and being electrically conductive through the thickness of the plate over the extent of the first and second surfaces;
- said battery cells and said conductive bipolar plates being arranged such that between each successive pair of battery cells is a bipolar plate arranged to provide electrical conductivity therebetween;
- and said battery cells and said conductive bipolar plates being further arranged horizontally in a vertical stack.
