Abstract
A method of removing inert gases from a metal halogen electrolyte battery system in which hydrogen is generated along with other inerts such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and oxygen, said method comprising, pressurizing the gas space above the sump to a preset pressure above ambient, and subsequently venting the hydrogen and other inert gases from the gas space through an absorber means which removes trace quantities of chlorine from the gases.
