Systems and methods are disclosed that provide for a fuel cell stack assembly including stack end cells that facilitate improved diagnostic and detection capabilities. In certain embodiments, an anode side of a FC stack end cell consistent with embodiments disclosed herein may be configured to have a lower anode gas flow rate than other cells in the FC stack. The cathode side of a FC stack end cell consistent with embodiments disclosed herein may be further configured to have a higher gas flow rate than other cells in the FC stack. Embodiments of the disclosed FC stack end cells may, among other things, allow for detection of adverse conditions and/or events in a FC stack assembly prior to such conditions and/or events negatively affecting other cells in the FC stack.
