I just changed over to a dry cell setup. Is it safe to run your dry cell during the winter (think Michigan, brrrr..). Also what do you introduce into the electrolyte to control freeze-ups? Maybe I should remove it for the winter. Any thoughts?

Just replace about 25% of your water with denatured alcohol. You can get it from Home Depot. Put in the same amount of electrolyte, as if it were all water. Hydrogen production will start slow but build up as the unit warms up.

I've had some pretty good luck with "Heet". you can buy it at any auto parts store.

Alscrimp, I don't know what part of the country your from. But if you run 28% Sodium Hydroxide and use a PWM to control your amps.I don't thank you'll have a proublem with freezing. Good luck and be safe.

Abe:

Are you doing the 28% by weight or volume?

28% is the total amount I add .check this out, Smack better at this than me http://www.youtube.com/user/eletrikride#...HFxU_nyXvc .But at that volume it Will burn you. Wear gloves when ever handling this electrolite or anything it touches.That why I say, Be Safe.
