A fuel cell, battery and power management system are disclosed as a hybrid portable power plant which uses a fuel source to generate and store power to recharge mobile electronic devices. The hybrid direct fuel cell can incorporate a polymer-electrode assembly (PEA), materials and methods of assembly to fabricate a fuel cell utilizing an anionic exchange membrane, a secondary battery combined with on-board electronics to provide power as a dedicated charger for mobile electronic devices, and description of passive designs for removable cartridge configurations for such fuel cell systems. The hybrid direct fuel cell, including a direct oxidation fuel cell, battery, power management system, can be used as a dedicated charger for electronic devices. The charging system can include the basic elements of standard USB output source, mini USB internal battery charger, a fuel cell with internal battery charger, an internal Li-Ion battery and a micro-powered micro controller. |
