METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REFILLING ELECTROCHEMICAL POWER SOURCES Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: electrochemical power sources. SUBSTANCE: movable container 10 for refilling battery 40 has housing 26, electrolyte tank 14 placed in housing 26, first valve connected to electrolyte tank 14, fuel compartment 12 arranged in housing 26, second valve connected to fuel compartment 12, and pipeline 24 connected to electrolyte tank and to fuel compartment 12; connecting movable container 10 to battery 40 being refilled forms closed loop passing electrolyte 60. Fuel particles 62 and electrolyte 60 are passed from movable container 10 to battery 40 to be refilled. When the latter discharges, movable container 20 holding spent electrolyte and products of reaction is disconnected from mentioned battery 40. EFFECT: enhanced speed and improved safety of battery refilling. 37 cl, 13 dwg
