Efoy fuel cells |
|

Fuel cells are a brand new technology, which use hydrogen to generate electricity. The Efoy range of fuel cells are designed specifically to supply guaranteed power to low consumption vehicles like motorhomes in order to avoid having to plug into the mains to charge the vehicle batteries. Efoy fuel cells utilise the hydrogen from methanol, supplied in easy to use cartridges.
Efoy fuel cells are:
- Automatic – they measure the battery voltage and only charge when needed.
- Extremely quiet – they are so quiet they won’t even disturb your sleep so they can work day and night if necessary.
- Compact & Lightweight – they can fit into even the smallest vehicles regardless of size and payload.
- Tested for quality and safety with the TUV SUD octagon stamp.
- The Efoy fuel cells can be supplied in 4 different sizes to cater for different power requirements.
Implementing the Efoy
The EFOY fuel cell comes in four different sizes depending on what your power needs are.
The EFOY 1600 fuel cell – Rated at 5.4 Amps, this is the
convenient solution to high energy demands.

- The EFOY 1200 fuel cell puts out
4.2 Amps, enough to keep you
independent the whole year round.
- The EFOY 900 fuel cell has a
capacity of 3.1 Amps. That’s enough to keep you energy independent from spring until summer. You can also use it to top-up in the winter.
- The EFOY 600 fuel cell with an output of 2.1 Amps is the unit to handle your base load.
Locating the Efoy
Preferred locations on mobile homes are the subfloor, the side
compartment, or the rear storage area.
Weighing in at a mere 7 kg and measuring only 43.5 x 20.0 x 27.6 cm
(L x W x H), the EFOY fuel cell fits into nearly every mobile home or trailer.
