Process for reducing unwanted specific electro chemical conversion in rechargeable batteries
First Claim
1. A process for reducing an undesirable specific electrochemical conversion in rechargeable batteries and/or cell packages having circulating electrolytes, bipolar electrodes connected in series, diaphragms disposed between the bipolar electrodes to form anolyte or catholyte chambers through which the appropriate electrolyte respectively flows, which are electrically connected with working means and electrical regulating and/or control elements, said process comprising:
- electrically disconnecting the working means and the regulating and/or control elements;
stopping the circulation of the electrolytes while the working means are electrically disconnected; and
at least intermittently charging the battery and/or cell packages while the working means are electrically disconnected and the circulation of the electrolytes is stopped.

Abstract
A process for reducing unwanted specific electrochemical conversion in rechargeable batteries with circulating electrolytes and bipolar electrodes with diaphragms therebetween to form anolyte or catholyte chambers. When a working element such as a motor is electrically disconnected from the battery, a regulating and/or control mechanism may also be disconnected and circulation of the electrolyte is stopped. Additionally, or alternatively, the battery may be intermittently charged during disconnection of the working element and stoppage of the electrolytic circulation.
