I don't think aluminum air is rechargeable in any sense except physically removing the plates. Membranes are getting better but finding a room temperature Process for making electrolytic aluminum metal borders on the miraculous.

Aluminum air batteries have been around for a century but as they charge and discharge they form crystals in the electrolyte that short the cell out eventually. The solution is naopore polymer that allows free ion flow while preventing crystal formation. One company is already commercializing the solution. See: http://www.evionyx.com/components.htm Rainer Partanen may get a shock when he discovers the American patent.
