1. An electrochemical energy device which comprises a spatially separated electrochemical charging system and electrochemical discharge cell;

  • wherein the electrochemical discharge cell comprises;

    a plurality of electrodes;

    each electrode having a fuel compartment with input and output sidewalls of dimension h and end walls of dimension w, wherein the fuel compartment is arranged between an input flow plate and output flow channel, the input flow plate adjacent to the input side wall and the output flow channel adjacent to the output side wall of the fuel compartment,the input flow plate comprising a porous membrane or a plurality of openings through which electrolyte can flow into the fuel compartment from an electrolyte source, wherein the porous membrane or the openings extend substantially along a surface of the input flow plate adjacent to the input side wall of the fuel compartment, thereby providing for the flow of the electrolyte through the fuel compartment in a direction essentially parallel to dimension w and into the output flow channel.
