Claim:
1. A method for fabricating a battery using an anode preloaded with consumable metals, the method comprising: forming an electrolyte; forming an ion-permeable membrane immersed in the electrolyte; forming preloaded anode immersed in the electrolyte, comprising Me forming a cathode immersed in the electrolyte and separated from the preloaded anode by the ion-permeable membrane, where the cathode comprises M1 performing a plurality of initial charge and discharge operations, where a charge operation uses an external power source to create a current from the preloaded anode to the cathode, and a discharge operation connects an external load between the preloaded anode and cathode; and, forming an anode comprising Me
