Well the amount of current you get, is very much dependant on the flow of the fuel (hydrogen) through the unit. We have the capability in the kit to have a forced hydrogen flow, or more of an ambient flow. So there is no definitive answer I can get you right now, but once we run a test I'll post the results from the multimeter. In the mean time, you can look at some of the information on the TekStak page, they say 1.5amps, but we'll be testing a system 4 times the size they talk about, as well as a hybrid battery/fuel cell system.

How big is that stack? In the kit we recieved 2 10-Cell TekStak kits, they are $399 retail each.
