In January 2008 Millennium Cell Inc. and Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies had announced the completion of a pre-production version of the HydroPak portable power generator.

The HydroPak product combines Horizon's fuel cells with Millennium Cell's Hydrogen on Demand storage technology. The Hydrogen on Demand storage technology, or HOD systems, is in a form of a dry cartridge. Hydrogen on Demand utilizes sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a hydrogen storage medium. It offers infinite shelf-storage life and 400 Watt hours of "instant power" by just adding water.

The HydroPak provides the power through a common AC outlet and two USB connectors allowing low power devices to operate for more than 16 hours when the electrical grid is unavailable.
