Okay i am bamboozled, Bought cell premade it has 50 plates , i believe in series, It is lexan sealed cell with circulating bubbler, the plates are small and thin gauge, but apparently high quality, the gap maybe 1/8th but couple of plates taper to smaller gap. I have tried different solution but was to strong and would eventually blow 30 amp fuse after an hour or more, i have diluted the mixtures , have tried pure citric acid, vingear. not for long ,then NAoh, and seemed to be okay but then it started drawing amps so diluted and diluted, finally to day i start it when cold and the amp draw was about 21, when norammly it would start off at 6.25 amps, so i figured i had a short, so cleaned out cell looked thru the lexan , at cell gaps, to see a short , and tried meter but cause wasn't dry it would be intermitant , so filled up cell with ONLY Distilled water and fired it up and it was producing great only at 6.25 amps on straight distilled water. i was baffled ,:eek:So i figured i will leave it like this to see what happens, the 50 plates are about 1 1/2 by 2 inches.:confused:
