- a typical secondary battery converts electric energy input thereto by changing the electric energy into chemical energy and then stores the chemical energy. Then, during discharging, the battery converts the stored chemical energy into electric energy and then outputs the electric energy.

Then, during discharging, the redox flow battery converts the stored chemical energy into electric energy and outputs the electric energy.
