Abstract
The invention is a method of recharging a thermal battery after it has been activated and at least partially discharged and the battery is still at a temperature where the electrolyte is still active. The method comprises the step of at least partially recharging the battery prior to the battery temperature reaching a level where the electrolyte becomes non-active. The method optionally may include insulation or supplemental heater system about the thermal battery.
