In combination, a fluid dispenser and an electrochemical cell to produce
electric energy by chemical conversion of the fluid to be dispensed. The
electrical energy produced is preferably used to operate a device
associated with the dispensing of the fluid as, for example, in operation
of an electric pump-to-pump fluid from the reservoir. The fluid
preferably is dispensed for use after dispensing in some other purpose
than as a source for electrochemical energy to dispense fluid from the
reservoir. For example, preferred fluid containing alcohol compounds are
for use in cleaning and disinfecting.
