- the battery cells 100, 100 ' and their inlet and outlet ports 23, 23 ', 24, 24' to each other are continuous inlet and manifolds for the supply and removal of the electrolyte fluid and thus for cooling - in an emergency, by interrupting the electrolyte supply and the cell reaction can be stopped.
- the invention is not limited to the described embodiment.
- the shape and the number of housing parts can vary.
- the arrangement of the flow channels can be designed differently.
- the electrolyte does not necessarily have to be a liquid, as well as a gaseous electrolyte may be used depending on the cell type.
