Abstract

A device connects at least two fuel cell batteries. Moreover, a plant includes the device. In order to connect a plurality of batteries containing fuel cells in a clearly understandable way and for easy mounting, each battery is assigned a junction block with T-pieces. The T-pieces in each case form a stub line to a collecting line and are coupled to the battery or (for example, via connecting elements) to one another via flanges. The flanges are preferably integrated to form junction flange plates and coupling flange plates.
