EFOY PRO Fuel Cells
SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG Introduces New EFOY Pro Series Fuel Cell
SFC Smart Fuel Cell EFOY PRO
Reliable, safe, and silent energy solution
Ideal for outdoor use; weatherproof, maintenance-free
Enables weeks of unattended off-grid operation
SFC Smart Fuel Cell AG, a leading supplier of fuel cell products for mobile and off-grid power applications, introduces a silent, reliable power solution for professional users and their specific energy requirements. Sandpiper offers EFOY PRO Fuel Cell Solutions specifically for biology, wildlife research, law enforcement, security and remote/unattended applications using the new EFOY Pro Series of fuel cells.
EFOY Pro Series supplies maintenance-free, odor-free and, most of all, silent off-grid power for a virtually unlimited period of time, as long as there is fuel. A 28-litre M28 fuel cartridge, for example, provides 31.1 kWh of power. That is enough to operate a 25 watt camera and video recorder for over 50 days without any user intervention.
With its integrated set of connectors, the new EFOY Pro Series offers maximum installation flexibility and can be easily included into any customer application. The fuel cells' robust casing and construction can withstand the roughest environmental conditions and temperatures between -20C and +45C. The fuel cell can be connected to either 12 V or 24 V batteries, as the integrated automatic charge control will recognize the battery type and adjust the charge process automatically.
"We have applied our extensive experience in the development, production and commercial use of fuel cells to the demanding requirements of professional users to create a specific product range for industrial applications," says Dr. Peter Podesser, CEO of Smart Fuel Cell. "This unique product for the industrial markets provides SFC with an important growth opportunity."
The EFOY Pro Series is available in three models: EFOY Pro 600, EFOY Pro 1200, and EFOY Pro 1600. The series offers a charging capacity of 600 to 1600 Wh per day, depending on the individual application. In operation, the EFOY Pro produces a very low humming sound of 23 dB(A) at a distance of 7m. It can be operated in closed rooms and vehicles and will produce off-grid power for weeks without requiring any user intervention. Moreover, customers can remotely monitor and control their devices with a mobile phone or computer via an integrated user interface. With all these features, use of the new EFOY Pro series fuel cells will reduce customers' personnel and logistics costs.
Measuring 44 x 19 x 28 cm and weighing approximately 8 kg, the EFOY Pro Series fuel cell fits into any switch cabinet or vehicle. For reliable outdoor operation in any weather, Sandpiper offers the EFOY PRO Remote Power System (RPS) The weatherproof box features pre-installed connectors and cables for any battery and fuel cartridge size. Sandpiper's remote power solutions features Sandpiper's exclusive Fuel Cell and Load Controller Model XFC-1 (A) for added reliability in remote and unattended applications/deployments. The Sandpiper Fuel Cell and Load Controller is compatible with the EFOY PRO, the orginal EFOY and the SFC A-50 Fuel Cell lines.
In the US and Canada, the EFOY Pro Series is available at Sandpiper Technologies. It is also available in a long-life version with a guaranteed lifetime of 5,000 operating hours or 30 months, offering added calculation predictability for all professional users.
Smart Fuel Cell AG EFOY Fuel Cells - Energy for You (EFOY)
For remote, mobile, portable, covert and off-grid power the new EFOY product family of fuel cells - the successor to the successful SFC-A50 fuel cell. Now users can select between three fuel cell models with various levels of performance for powering their electrical devices: EFOY 1600, EFOY 1200, and EFOY 600 (with a charging capacity of 1.6 kWh, 1.2 kWh, resp. 0.6 KWh per day). The EFOY family's top model, the EFOY 1600 exhibits a 33 percent increase in power output over its predecessor.

Weight, sound emission and fuel consumption of the EFOY product family have been further reduced. With their innovative interactive remote control and improved software the new EFOY fuel cells have become even more user friendly.
The new EFOY Fuel Cell product family is result of the experiences and ideas of our customers from three years of using our fuel cells in the most diverse applications. Now we can offer three fuel cell models with different levels of performance, each of which represents a perfect all-round carefree energy solution for the user.
Sandpiper EFOY Fuel Cells
Wildlife researchers, surveyors, forest fire fighters--virtually anybody using 12-volt battery powered equipment in remote areas--will find the Sentinel Fuel Cell Remote Power System extremely reliable in powering video equipment, GPS equipment, laptop computers and other research tools. The Sentinel Fuel Cell is the latest remote power innovation from Sandpiper Technologies. Sandpiper is the recognized leader in the wildlife research community for incorporating new technologies into its fleet of wildlife video equipment and this fuel cell is among a series of innovations in its Remote Power product line.
When we saw this methanol fuel cell we knew it would have a huge impact for our researchers operating equipment in remote areas. Not only did the fuel cell offer a lightweight alternative to deep cycle marine batteries, but it was an environmentally friendly approach to energy management. We worked with the manufacturers at the developmental stage to assure that our researchers would have full advantage of this technology.
The Sandpiper Fuel Cell Remote Power Systems are easy-to-use and come with a self-contained portable 25W, 50W or 65 watt 12 Volt Direct Methanol EFOY Fuel Cell. The EFOY Fuel Cell System is rugged, reliable, virtually quiet and easy to deploy. This system may be used as a fully automatic battery charger.
The EFOY Fuel Cells are easily refueled with 5 liter, 10 liter or 28 liter methanol cassettes that simply drop into place and provide 4.5 Kilo-Watt-Hours, 9.1 Kilo-Watt-Hours or 25 Kilo-Watt-Hours respectively. The unique design allows this system to supply power even during fuel cassette changes! Fuel consumption varies with electrical demand and at full load.
Weight and Transportation: STI offers Fuel cartridges of 5 (<10 lbs), 10 (<19 lbs) liter or 28 (~53 lbs).

Sentinel Solar Charger
Biologists operating their Sentinel Systems in remote locations use solar chargers to extend the number of days they can deploy a battery. The amount of sunlight available at any given locale determines the number of watt-hours generated. The Sentinel Solar Charger is available as a 30 watt unit and its rugged case allows for safe transport and easy deployment. The charging regulator prevents overcharge of battery in bright sunlight and prevents energy loss from battery during periods of darkness. Solar Charger systems include the following warranties: One-year warranty on case. 5 year pro-rated warranty on solar cell and regulator.
