Abstract

The cells of a multicell metal/oxigen battery construction each contain a potassium hydroxide electrolyte, a metal anode plate and a pair of oxygen permeable cathode panels, one on each side of the anode. Each cell has an electrically non-conducting housing comprising opposed faces and a peripheral rim region, with an aperture in each of the opposed faces, to which the cathode panels are sealingly fixed so as to obturate the aperture. The faces of adjacent housings are sealed to each other in confronting fluid-tight manner so as to define therebetween oxygen feeds and electrolyte drains, both the oxygen feeds and the electrolyte drains communicating externally of the cells with the cathodes.
