A fuel cell stack (20) and a compression system (40) for providing compressive force to a fuel cell stack (20) having first and second ends (26, 28) is provided. The compression system (40) includes asymmetric leaf springs (42) operatively connected to first and second ends (26, 28) of the fuel cell stack (20). Each leaf spring (42) includes a slot (56) having first and second connector positions. The compression system 40) also includes tension members (60) connected to the asymmetric leaf springs (42). The tension members (60) compress the asymmetric leaf springs (42) to provide a compressive load to the fuel cell stack (20). |
