A magnetic flux generator 1 configured to enhance ion transport in one or more electrochemical cells contained within a battery pack 40 on board of a vehicle comprises one or more magnetic field sources 10, the or each source being configured to produce a respective magnetic field through at least one of the one or more electrochemical cells. The magnetic field source(s) may be associated with modules 15 comprising a plurality of individual cells, e.g. located between the modules (as shown). Alternatively, the or each magnetic field source may be associated with individual cells, which are either provided within a plurality of modules or directly in a battery pack (figures 4-9). The magnetic field source(s) may be provided on a battery pack provided in the vehicle (figures 14-19) or may be located outside of the vehicle at a charging station (figures 20-25). In all examples, the magnetic field source(s) enhance ion transport in the electrochemical cells and are especially useful for improving the charging efficiency of vehicle batteries.
