Abstract

A technique that is usable with a fuel cell stack includes providing a fuel flow and using at least some of the fuel flow to produce power with the fuel cell stack. A request is received to charge a battery. In response to the request, the technique includes determining if the remainder of the fuel flow is sufficient to produce additional power to charge the battery. Based on the determination, the remainder of the fuel flow is used to produce the additional power to charge the battery.
