A manifold device of a fuel cell stack is provided which prevents moisture condensed in gases supplied to the fuel cell stack from excessively flowing into specific cells of the stack by heating gases supplied into the stack using heat of the stack. The manifold device also prevents flooding that is caused by liquid generated in cells disposed away from a gas inlet by removing a flow rate difference of gases generated in respective cells based on distances from the gas inlet of the stack.

Apparatuses and methods for accelerated activation of fuel cells are disclosed. The apparatuses include a fuel cell stack; an air supplying means coupled to a cathode catalyst side of the fuel cell stack through a mass flow controller and a humidifier; a hydrogen supplying means coupled to an anode catalyst side of the fuel cell stack through a mass flow controller and a humidifier; and a cable coupled to both ends of the fuel cell stack for short-circuiting the cathode and the anode.
