The cell comprises a housing (21), a metal, preferably zinc, anode (22) a chemically non-reactive counterelectrode (23) and cathodic halogen, preferably bromine. The cell also is provided with an aqueous metal halide containing electrolyte in which the metal is the metal of the anode and the halide is of the halogen of the cathodic halogen. The cell is provided with an anion exchange resin (26) to provide a means for storing the halogen generated during charging of the cell and a source of halogen during discharge of the cell. The resin (26) is suitably located in a zone (25) outside housing (21). Alternatively, the resin (26) may be incorporated into the structure of the counterelectrode (23). |
