A hydrogen canister fuel cell battery including a base having at least one hydrogen distribution channel communicating with a hydrogen canister for passage of hydrogen to a fuel cell on the base. An air supply is disposed in front of the fuel cell for sending air into the fuel cell, so that oxygen and hydrogen may react electrochemically in the fuel cell to generate electricity. The present invention also provides an arrangement that utilizes fuel cells to have a larger area of contact with the ambient air so as to eliminate use of fans and starting power devices and thus achieve a compact hydrogen canister fuel cell battery for use in products such as notebook computers and cellular phones.
