The Chloride ElectraGen fuel cell from Critical Power Supplies offers a cost-effective alternative to standard VRLA batteries. With high reliability, predictable performance, extended runtimes and minimal maintenance requirements fuel cells are particularly suited to telecommunications and utilities applications.

Components of the ElectraGen fuel cell system

The ElectraGen fuel cell is a PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell. It can use commercial grade hydrogen, or be paired with the ElectraGen XTR Module to run on liquid methanol-based fuel for extended runtimes.

Benefits of the ElectraGen fuel cell system

Unlike traditional VRLA batteries the ElectraGen fuel cell system provides reliable and predictable performance for its full lifetime, 10 years or more. The fuel cell system requires almost no maintenance and is compact and lightweight compared to standard VRLA batteries.
