Claim:
1. A method of charging/discharging power through pipelines flown with electrolytes the method comprising: inserting an inner tube into each one of pipelines of a redox flow battery (RFB), said inner tube is made of an ion-exchange material; installing an inner conductive sleeve and an outer conductive sleeve are obtained inside and outside said inner tube, respectively; flowing electrolytes into corresponding ones of said pipelines of said inner tube; and providing a wire connected with said inner conductive sleeve and another wire connected with said outer conductive sleeve to serve as external electrodes to obtain a function of charging/discharging power through said pipelines; and wherein, during charging power, said electrolytes flow forwardly and, during discharging power, said electrolytes flow backwardly.
