Abstract

The present invention is a fuel cell power system, with a fuel cell stack, a multi-function mounting plate, at least two fuel supply units, a distribution manifold, a gas pressure regulator, and a cover. The distribution manifold and gas pressure regulator may be integrated into the mounting plate. The mounting plate also serves as an end plate for the fuel cell stack. The system allows for continuous, uninterrupted use, since at least one fuel supply unit is removable, and the system can operate from another supply unit while the removable unit is being replaced.
