    Where is electrolyte stored in a battery?

    In a battery without bulk flow of the electrolyte, the electro-active material is stored internally in the electrodes. However, for flow batteries, the energy component is dissolved in the electrolyte itself. The electrolyte is stored in external tanks, usually one corresponding to the negative electrode and one to the positive electrode.
