Abstract
A fuel cell system having an integral electrical conduction system is provided for the transmission of electrical energy created from a fuel cell stack. The electrical conduction system conducts electricity to a positive and a negative pole, each disposed at a common end of the fuel cell stack for reducing the amount of external wiring needed for connecting multiple fuel cell stacks together. The fuel cell stack and electrical system are both disposed in a housing.
