A type of fuel cell in which the chemical reactants undergo reversible reactions, such that the cell may be recharged with a separate power source if desired; for example, the hydrogen/oxygen fuel cell may be recharged by providing power for water electrolysis with hydrogen storage.  2, record 1, English, - reversible%20fuel%20cell

[The terms] reversible fuel cell and regenerative fuel cell ... generally have the same meaning and relate to technology that allows a fuel cell to both produce electricity from H₂ and 0₂ and use electricity in the reverse direction to create H₂ and 0₂. In some cases, this type of fuel cell can also be designed to store energy. The essential benefit of this type of "closed loop" system is that a new hydrogen infrastructure is not needed.  3, record 1, English, - reversible%20fuel%20cell

Le système Regenesys repose sur la technologie des piles à combustible réversibles (parfois appelées piles à technologie redox-flow). L'énergie électrique est transformée en énergie chimique potentielle en «chargeant» deux électrolytes aqueux, puis en libérant l'énergie stockée lors de la décharge. La conversion à haut rendement de l'énergie électrique en énergie chimique stockée et vice-versa peut se répéter à l'infini.  2, record 1, French, - pile%20%C3%A0%20combustible%20r%C3%A9versible
