I put my plates in parallel, all hooked up - + - + - + - + - + - + - no skip plates.
Use a SIL40C-12SADJ-VJ it is a converter DC to DC 12Vin 40 Amps Adj. Output .9V to 5V 200W.
I use 15Amp fuse for the in put power. I use a diode to drop the 14.2V my Alt. Puts out to 13.5 Max.
I adj it to 2.2V to 2.4V 40Amps Output.
Output = 2.3v at 40Amps = 92W____input = 98.92W = 13.5V at 7.33Amps.
This is less then 8Amps from My Alt. Not 40Amps.

  • I have no heat loss in the cell & I'm not over loading my Alt. I know the wattage read my comments that go with the video.

  • Sorry but your voice is really annoying, and your video therefore became meaningless

  • @HaveHandsOpen What do you want me to "let you know" about? It's a dc/dc converter which reduces voltage. Does the output give a greater current capacity than the input? Yes. Does it give a greater power output than input? No. You get 40 amp output divided between each cell. Your input is consuming 108W (13.5V * 8A) If you had 40 amps going through each cell at 2.2V, you would consume 2.2 * 40 = 88W at each cell. 19 cells would consume 88 * 19 = 1672W. Do you think your getting 1672W from 108W?

  • @jjenson2006 SIL40C-12SADJ-VJ made by Artesyn Technologies read the data & application note 132 rev.11 then let me know.

  • @HaveHandsOpen It's not what I say, it's what I learned in class almost 30 years ago when I was studying to become an Electrical Engineer. Among us Engineers, this law of science is very basic like 1 + 1 = 2 and it is applied to almost every project we work on. I'm not denying your mileage claims. I'm just pointing out that you're not putting 40 amps through your cells while drawing less than 8 amps. Making these kinds of claims doesn't do your credibility any good.

  • @jjenson2006 So you say, stop doing math and do the work. My system is working, is yours ? I get 5 more miles per gal, my oil stay clean longer.

  • @HaveHandsOpen Then you have 19 cells (paths of current) that are each pulling only 2.1 amps

  • @jjenson2006 I have 20 plates in my wet cell.

  • @HaveHandsOpen Every path in your generator is called a cell. The 40 amps you send to your generator gets divided between each pair of plates (cells). At 40 amps, you are only putting 6.67 amps through each cell (or pair of plates). If your cells (plates) were in series with a PWM and you wanted only 6.67 amps going through each of them, you would only need to draw 6.67 amps from your alternator.

    Losses in a PWM are much smaller because it's just a switch, there's no conversion taking place.

  • I use KOH & 316L plates - 2 Table spoons per Gal.
