ABSTRACT The present invention is directed to a method of minimising about currents in electrochemical devices which have a plurality of cells connected, at least in part, is series and which have a common electrolyte which is fed to or removed from at least two of the cells as a shared electrolyte from a common manifold vis individual inlet of outlet channels, respectively , whereby an electrical electrolytic conductive bypass pathe is created around such cells andthrough said shared electrolyte, resulting in undersirable about currents. This method involves providing electrolyte tunnels which connect the individual inlet of outlet channels and applying a protective current through said electrolyte tunnels and thus through said shared electrolyte, the protective current being of a magnaitude which effectively at least reduces said about currents. Thus, a single proactive current may be applied such that about currents are minimized, and preferably are totally eliminated, The present invention is also directed to an electrochemical device having means adapted for applying the protective current thereto.
