1. A metal-air fuel cell battery (FCB) system, comprising:

  • first and second power supply terminals for receiving electrical power generated from a supply of metal-fuel tape at a prespecified output voltage;

    a supply of metal-fuel tape wound on a supply spindle and taken up on a take-up spindle;

    metal-fuel tape configuration means for configuring said metal fuel tape within a predetermined space along a folded path that allows a plurality of discharging heads to be configured about said metal-fuel tape during tape discharging operations; and

    a plurality of discharging heads for producing electrical power from said supply of metal-fuel tape as said metal-fuel tape is transported through each said discharging head during tape discharging operations.
