January 2009 Press Releases: "EFOY Fuel Cell by SFC Wins 2009 ‘Best Product’ Award from Motorcaravan Motorhome Monthly: MMM Reader Survey Earns EFOY Fuel Cell Silver Medal in 'Best Product of the Year'". "Promobil: Annual reader award ... awarded bronze to the EFOY fuel cell ... beating all solar cell producers". "More than 30 manufacturers have EFOY as standard equipment in their 2009 series motorhomes".

The very weak pound has regrettably had a big impact on the price of these higher value items

EFOY the ultra quiet ultra clean power source:  Complete independence for the serious traveller! These fuel cells are virtually silent and will give you endless amounts of 12v power in almost any environment*. A range of outputs offer everything you need from day to day and week to week. *Methanol fuel required of course!

Efoy Fuel Cells: Clean, maintenance-free, eco-friendly and almost silent 12v power anywhere you like! Gain true independence from these high tech, fully mobile, smart fuel cells running on the huge energy reserves stored in methanol. Methanol fuel cells are based on a simple principle - 'burn' alcohol and get electricity + water + some CO² in return. In this case the 'burn' is a chemical process rather than combustion as such and the amount of undesirable CO² produced is very small "the amount found in a small child's breath", so all very green.

The top end Efoy 1600 generates 5.4A at 12v giving up to 130Ahrs per day (!) - and on just 1.7L of fuel. For comparison this is 4x the output of a 100W Solar panel in near optimum conditions! Even the baby 600 gives an extremely handy 2.1Amps. Complete with Automatic Charge Control & Monitor, suitable for both lead-acid and lead-gel batteries. Already very popular in Europe where travel independence is the norm - and now at last readily available here as well. Genuinely 'smart', once connected these fuel cells continuously monitor your leisure batteries and when the voltage drops the cell automatically recharges them, silently, cleanly, efficiently, this really is techno-magic!

Which one? Well, as with most power items if in doubt stretch to the next size up, you'll never regret it. Light users will be happy with the 600 but all-year and high power users should certainly think about one of the 1200 or 1600s for optimum performance. Although all are very quiet do remember that the 1600 is inevitably just a bit louder than the 900. Fuel consumption doesn't vary across the range, actual consumption is hard to estimate since it depends on lifestyle but an MMM tester said "one 5L lasted us right through the winter".

Benefits only from EFOY fuel cells! • Complete Comfort with the luxuries of home - anywhere. Even appliances that use a lot of electricity are no longer a problem. • Completely Automatic Charge Control regulator constantly monitors battery charge. If the voltage drops below 12.3V, the fuel cell will switch on, recharge the battery and shut off automatically. You needn’t worry about a thing. • Lightweight EFOY fuel cells weigh only around 7.5 kg, making it a compact lightweight that fits into any motorhome, camper, or caravan. • Super Quiet EFOY fuel cells are even quieter than predecessors so will allow you to enjoy nature day and night. • Reliable EFOY fuel doesn’t just deliver quietly and cleanly. It also generates power reliably and effortlessly whenever you need. Day and night, regardless of the weather, and anywhere at all it will offer maximum convenience and safety. In short: enjoy! • Hi-Tech for clean energy EFOY fuel cells are easy on the environment, they’re economical and they’re non-polluting. Aside from electricity, the only other by products are water and carbon dioxide in about the same amount as in a child’s breath.

Easy Installation EFOY fuel cells are easy to install using the mounting set included as standard equipment. You don’t need to do too much mounting or wiring and you needn’t make large holes in your roof! Where can I mount the EFOY fuel cell in my motor home? Thanks to its compact size and light weight, you can mount the EFOY fuel cell just about anywhere in your camper or trailer where the exhaust can be vented to the outside. Ideal locations for the cell include a side or rear storage compartment or sub-floor.
