Abstract
An aqueous battery system includes an electrode assembly, a recombination device, and a controller. The recombination device has a catalyst that combines hydrogen and oxygen produced by the electrode assembly to form water and generate heat via exothermic reaction. The controller, responsive to a detected temperature or change in temperature associated with the recombination device due to the heat, changes power supplied to the electrode assembly.
