Abstract: Certain fuel cells (e.g., solid polymer electrolyte fuel cells) may temporarily exhibit below normal performance after initial manufacture or after prolonged storage. While normal performance levels may be obtained after operating such fuel cells for a suitable time period, this process can take of order of days to fully complete. However, various conditioning and/or maintenance techniques are disclosed that provide for normal performance levels without the need for a lengthy initial operating period.
