Novel metal-air chemical power sources (CPS) 3,0-ВМБ-7,5 have been developed. They have an unlimited shelf life and, even after decades of storage, give almost 100% of the designed capacity. These sources are water-activated. An aqueous salt solution is used as an electrolyte. Such sources are designed for single continuous or discontinuous discharge. The paper presents electrochemical reactions at the electrodes during CPS discharge. Comparison of electrical characteristics of the developed power source and various types of "dry cells" has shown that the developed sources have higher energy characteristics.
