Steca fuel cells
Efoy 600, 1200, 1600
The Efoy fuel cells are direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) which
can run in combination with a battery.
The fuel cells can be fully integrated into a Steca hybrid system
as a reserve generator. In case of extra energy demand, the fuel
cell is automatically started and the battery is charged. The cell
is delivered together with the fuel tank, and can be connected
directly to a 12 V battery. It is designed for small systems which
require their energy supply to be extremely reliable.
