Abstract

A system which permits self-generating halogen liquifaction in a rechargeable battery and apparatus for use in that system are disclosed. The system includes the use of separate electrolyte flows for the metal electrode and halogen electrode, the electrolyte being separated by a permselective membrane, and a halogen gas accumulator which communicates with the halogen gas being generated at the halogen electrode.
