ABSTRACT:
A wick system for an electrochemical cell is provided to assure the connection between the electrodes of the cell. The wick system of the invention absorbs electrolyte and by capillary action provides a continuous electrolyte path between the electrodes. The wick may be in the form of a substantially flat piece extending in one plane for those cells having all electrodes positioned at one end thereof. Alternatively, the wick may be substantially tubular to extend from one end of a cylindrical electrolyte containing chamber to another, for a cell having electrodes positioned at each end thereof. Additionally, the wick may extend from one end of the cell to the other in a folded bellows-like form. In any of the forms, the wick system allows for a continuous operation of the cell, even with reduced electrolyte content, and regardless of the three-dimensional orientation of the cell, by absorbing electrolyte and maintaining electrolytic contact.
