BATTERY HAVING FLUID REGULATOR WITH PRESSURE EQUALIZATION

摘要

A battery comprising: a cell housing having at least one fluid entry port for the passage of a fluid into said cell housing,- a first fluid consuming electrode disposed within said -cell housing; a second electrode disposed within said cell housing; and a fluid regulating system disposed in fluid communication with said at least one fluid entry port to selectively allow fluid to enter into said at least one fluid entry port to reach said first fluid consuming electrode, said fluid regulating system comprising a valve having an open position and a closed position and said fluid regulating system further comprising a chassis comprising a fluid passage extending between an inside port in fluid communication with said at least one fluid.entry port and an outside port in fluid communication with the outside environment, such that fluid released from the cell housing is able -to pass through the fluid passage in the chassis to the outside.environment when said valve is in the closed position.
