| 摘要 |
A ventilation system for a metal-air battery is disclosed. The metal-air battery has one or more air cathodes, one or more air pathways from the air cathode to a reactive gas source, a closure member associated with each of the air pathways to selectively prevent the flow of gas through the air pathways and one or more volume-changeable plenums in fluid communication with the air pathway and the air cathode. When the battery is not in use, the closure member is closed and the door is closed to save the battery lifetime. When the battery is activated, the air pathway is opened and the volume of the plenum is increased to introduce fresh air from the outside to the plenum. A method of producing electricity using a metal-air battery is also disclosed. |
