Figure 43.7 is an illustration of a lightweight 50-Watt system developed for military held use incorporating two compressed hydrogen cylinders for the fuel source. The characteristics of this fuel cell system are summarized in Table 43.3. 

Remote or Unattended Application. Another fuel cell application for remote telecommunications is the use of fuel cells to back-up the solar/battery array at weather stations and microwave-repeater stations. Fuel cells in the 20 to 100 Watt range are used with hydrogen supplied in the form of compressed gas cylinders.
