Abstract: A battery including a casing having an inner surface defining a chamber in which an electrolyte is disposed therein; a conductive surface located within the chamber adjacent the inner surface of the casing, the conductive surface being configured for electrical communication with an anode terminal of the battery; a permeable separator sheet located within the casing configured for electrically isolating the electrolyte from the conductive surface; a conductive rod having a first end configured for electrical communication with a cathode terminal of the battery, and, a second end of the conductive rod configured for electrical communication with the electrolyte; and an opening disposed in the casing; wherein the casing includes at least a first and second portion that are movably attached to each other, the first and second portions being movable relative to each other between at least a first attached position whereby the opening is substantially blocked from allowing ingress of a liquid into the casing via t
