Abstract
This paper describes the conversion of a lightweight pure electric vehicle into a hybrid fuel cell-battery vehicle. Integration of the two power sources, including the installation of a DC-DC converter for regulating the desired operating voltage and controlling the power supplied by the fuel cell, is presented in sufficient detail. The desired performance of the modified vehicle - that is where the fuel cell provides relatively steady power while the battery bank provides peak power - is illustrated by field measurements under different operating conditions
