1. A rechargeable battery cell, comprising:
a casing;
first and second electrode materials separately positioned in the casing; and
a first mechanical impulse element positioned within the casing and in contact with an electrochemically active portion of the rechargeable battery cell comprising at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode, to mechanically move and dislodge gas bubbles generated during a use of the rechargeable battery cell comprising a charge, recharge or discharge operation of the rechargeable battery cell, from at least one of the first and second electrode materials in response to a first activation, wherein the gas bubbles adhere to at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode and reduce an electrical efficiency of the rechargeable battery cell prior to being dislodged by the mechanical impulse element.
