Abstract

A system for measuring available energy in a metal fuel cell is provided.The system comprises first componentry for measuring an electrical propertyof a mixture formed from one or more reaction products dissolved in a reactionmedium. The electrical property may be such as to bear a known relationshipwith the concentration of the one or more reaction products. Using this knownrelationship, second componentry estimates the concentration of the one or morereaction products, and, responsive thereto, determines the available energy in thefuel cell.
