Abstract
Galvanic high energy cells based on the aqueous system Li/H.sub.2 O.sub.2 are operated in conjunction with a fuel cell. The H.sub.2 /O.sub.2 gas mixture developed by the high energy cell is supplied first to the positive and then the negative electrode of the fuel cell. The required quantitative relationship of the two gases, corresponding to the stiochiometry of water, is provided either by adding O.sub.2 to the gas mixture, or by separating O.sub.2 by means of an O.sub.2 /O.sub.2 gas chain, operating as a cleaning cell.
