ABSTRACT:
An improved pressure vessel for a metal oxide-hydrogen battery which comprises an outer cylindrical shell and a battery cell is disposed centrally within the shell. A pair of sealed containers or tanks are located in the ends of the shell on either side of the cell and each container contains pressurized hydrogen. In a preferred form of the invention, a portion of each container constitutes a head of the vessel. Each container is provided with an opening which provides communication with the interior of the vessel, and a remotely controlled valve acts to open and close the opening. Opening of the valve permits hydrogen gas to contact the cell to generate an electron current in an exterior circuit. During recharging of the cell, hydrogen generated in the cell passes into the containers and is captured therein by closing of the valves, thereby minimizing self-discharge of the battery cell during standby periods.
