As Stu pointed out, you have a short somewhere, possibly even inside your cell between the plates.

My dry cell had shorted out due to a leak. Because of the way I had my cell mounted with nylon across the plates and gasket had hide the leak. I had a build up of Potassium Hydroxcide across the outside of the plates this connecting the plates with dried PH. Cloeaned it up and tighten the bolts, all is good now... ;)
