How is hydrogen stored?
Hydrogen is stored in small cartridges (HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO) at low pressure. When refueling,
hydrogen gas is sent into the cartridge at high pressure, and adsorbed onto the surface area of a special metal
alloy which is contained inside the cartridges, thus becoming a solid (hydride). When connected to the fuel
cell, the HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO cartridges slowly release hydrogen using a heat exchange process
with the ambient temperature.
How can I refill HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO cartri
dges with hydrogen?
Add water into the unit’s water tank, connect the AC-DC adapter and insert a HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO
cartridge. The HYDROFILL PRO will split water into hydrogen and oxygen, sending hydrogen into the
HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO cartridge. It will take around
4-6.5 hours to fully fill a HYDROSTIK or
What is the purity level of the hydrogen produced by the HYDROFILL PRO
?
The purity of the hydrogen produced by the HYDROFILL PRO is 99.99%. The metal hydrides contained in the
cartridge first adsorb hydrogen, then release it at a higher purity into the fuel cell.
When do I need to add water to the water tank?
When should I empty the drainage tank?
When the waste tank is full, pour waste water out and refill the water tank.
Empty the water tank if you will not use the HYDROFILL PRO within one hour. Add fresh
water.
to the water tank before use again.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The LED light alternates between red for 1 second and off for 3 seconds.
SOLUTION
: Try to add 40°C to 70°C water into the water tank.
The LED light alternates between red for 1 second and off for 1 second.
SOLUTION
: Check the water level of the water tank and waste water tank is correct. Either add
water to the water tank or remove water from the waste water tank as required.

One way to check the volume of hydrogen inside a cartridge, is to weigh the HYDROSTIK or HYDROSTIK PRO before and
is around 0.9 grams.
