The Fuel Cell Array is a part which converts liquid fuel and oxidizer into electric charge. It is the larger version of the Fuel Cell.

Product description

Why have just one fuel cell when you can have six? The fuel cell array is ideal for situations where you need a large source of reliable power. Like the smaller fuel cells, this array operates by converting fuel and oxidizer into energy.

Usage

The Fuel Cell Array is used in the same way as the smaller Fuel Cell.

Compared to the Fuel Cell, the Fuel Cell Array has six times the mass and cost, but produces twelve times as much electric charge (for twelve times the fuel).
