Abstract: Battery electrodes are cycled in bulk in a conductive container by depositing the container in an electrolyte (or alternatively, by depositing the electrolyte in the container) and then passing a current between the container and another conductor present in the electrolyte. The electrodes are then removed from the container and assembled into batteries. Preferably the electrodes are agitated while the current is being passed. Cylindrical rotating containers may be used for the cycling.
