Claim 5:
6. A static rechargeable electrochemical battery comprising:
a pair of terminal assemblies, wherein each terminal assembly independently comprises:
a terminal connector;
a conductive flat-plate with an electrically conducting perimeter;
an electrically insulating tape member; and
a terminal bipolar electrode plate,
wherein the conductive flat-plate, the terminal bipolar electrode plate and the electrically insulating tape member each have inner and outer surfaces at least substantially parallel with each other,
wherein the outer surface of the conductive flat-plate is joined to the terminal connector, the inner surface of the conductive flat-plate is joined to the outer surface of the terminal bipolar electrode plate, with the electrically insulating tape member being disposed between the inner surface of the conductive flat-plate and the outer surface of the terminal bipolar electrode plate such that the electrically insulating tape member does not cover an entire inner surface area of the conductive flat-plate, and
wherein the electrically conducting perimeter enables bi-directional uniform current flow through the conductive flat-plate between the terminal connector and the terminal bipolar electrode plate;

at least one bipolar electrode interposed between the pair of terminal assemblies, wherein the bipolar electrode comprises:
a bipolar electrode plate;
a cathode assembly disposed on a surface of the bipolar electrode plate, wherein the cathode assembly comprises a carbon material affixed to the surface of the bipolar electrode plate; and
an aqueous zinc-halide electrolyte in contact with the bipolar electrode plate and the cathode assembly; and

a battery frame member, wherein the battery frame member comprises:
a liquid diversion system;
a gutter;
a sealing member;
a gas channel; and
a ventilation hole.
