摘要 |
The invention provides a mechanically rechargeable, electrochemical metal-air battery of the type having a plurality of metal-air cells, each of the cells comprising a housing having a base, two major surfaces and two minor surfaces, defining an interior space for containing therein a metal electrode, the electrode having an electrically conductive skeletal member encompassed by a rigid static bed of active anode material and the skeletal member including a heat-conductive, plate-like portion extending above the bed of anode material. The battery further comprises air flow directing means positioned adjacent to the extending plate-like portion, for directing a flow of air towards the surfaces of the plate for the removal of heat therefrom by forced convection.
