Re: Circuit Design

The fuel cell can take up to 4V. I'm sure we can put a voltage limiter if needed.

The way I envisioned this system was to have two power sources: One from the fuel cell at ~2 volts, and one from the capacitor at ~5 volts.

When I put two batteries with uneven voltages in parallel, doesn't the load draw more current from the weaker battery?
