The feasibility of using molten salt electrolytes in the zinc/chlorine system is examined. It would seem unlikely that very high current densities are practical with the molten salts studies (ZnCl/sub 2/--NaCl--KCl, ZnCl/sub 2/--NaCl and ZnCl/sub 2/--KCl eutectics). Greater discharge rates may result from increased electrolyte conductivities and optimization of the chlorine electrode performance.
