Fuel cells do not store energy. They directly generate electricity from fuel (using natural gas in this case).
Anyone know how these low cost fuel cells would stack up against lithium ion batteries as far as costs/efficiency/etc for storing energy.

So they have no storage capacity. Rather they just convert energy in the form of natural gas to electricity which has to be immediately used. The actual stored energy in fuel cells is the natural gas.
Correct?
