'Randy Cell' vs. 'Tero Cell'

[H²+O]

What is the Difference between these cells, is it just because one is a dry cell and another is a wet cell? and what is the Mk1 and Mk2?? I've been reading all this stuff on here and need some straiting out!      I'm going to order some 316 SS plates from a guy on eBay that will cut them to size (even said he would make them 2"x3"). and i can get PVC shower pan liner that is 1.01600mm from the home depot! (it is Oatly shower pan liner 40mil) and that is pretty darn close to 1/32 in! (1/25in).. going to give it a go!

Mainly...YES  but because one is a dry cell and the other is a wet cell there are many fundamental differences...
 you can make a Wet cell out of Plates and its much easier than a dry cell !... you just use the "Randy cell" method of connecting them together instead of 2" washers. this usually makes a much bigger cell in "PLATE Area" than the "Randy Cell" and that is usually what the guys that make DRY cells are after...(more plate area)
....
 I think the Wet cell is much easier to keep cool, but it requires allot of room for the large container to house it in.
....
  When stacking plates I PREFURE the +-+-+-+-+-+ method or series as it is sometimes called it is a Parallel electrical hookup to the plates and seams to work slightly better than the neutral plate method such as +nn-nn+ or even -nnnnn+.
...
when making a Dry cell limit your plates to a max of 5~7 plates,
 when making a wet cell (parallel method) limit your plates to 11 plates...
the reasons are many for this statement, but has proven to be true.
...
Dry cells by their makeup (More surface area) Need more Amperage usually ! because of this they can run Hotter... so a recurculation system is almost alwayse used, this usually cures any heat ishue.
...
Wet cells are a Pain because of their size of the container their IN... and as with most cells can have heating ishues, so a recurculation system is sometimes used with them as well.
...
Hope that helps
