for short trips like to work and back every day (150 miles round trip or 3 hours total) only recharged once a day
would it be less strain on your car to run your HHO on your alternator OR the weight of having a few batteries, maybe Deep Cycle Marine Battery's (40 lbs each) in your car to run your HHO. I would think 4 would be enough for 3 hours but Ide like to hear someone with a better electical background do the math on this one.
another thing to factor in. you will be paying for the elct. on your elct. bill to charge those batteries so how many killowatts does it take to charge 4 batteries.
