The Fuel Cell is a part of the Habitat power bus that is able to turn fuel into energy without the need of heat to start a reaction as in the Reactor, and because of this the fuel cell is used when the main reactor is off, broken, or malfunctioning. The fuel cell is also used during the process of Cold Starting to heat up the main reactor so that it may produce power. The fuel cell is quite similar to the Battery, another system on the Power Grid that the fuel cell works closely with. Because it is not necessary during flight, it is not fatal to blow a fuel cell after launch. In fact, this is usually not an issue at all since the AYSE drive can automatically repair or replace a blown cell.
