Hey all,
We have a generator we bought from Liberty Industries on the recommendation of someone we know. It has 16 316l SS plates (15 cells), each being 6x6. The question is about the wiring as there are 4 wires on it. Attached to the two end plates are 1- red(+) and 1-black(-). In addition, there are two more wires, 1- red on plate 6 and 1-black on plate 10. The until came with no wiring instructions so does anyone know how to reach Bill Luedke of Liberty? The website is offline and his phone is disconnected.

Anyway, can someone weigh in on this wiring? I am using distilled water with a 20% by wt KOH electrolyte, running 24 volts from 2 car batteries in series. The first time we ran it, the wires got very hot and melted the insulation. At that time I had connected the 2 red leads on the generator to the + side from the battery, with the 2 black leads connected to the neg. Have not bought an ammeter yet but I plan to do so.

Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
