Hi Kerry,
I think you are confusing cold cranking amps for the amp hour capacity of the battery (measured by how long it will last under a 20 amp continuous load). A typical 12vdc car battery will have 60 to 80 amp hours of capacity. A 12vdc car battery with 750 amp hours of capacity would weigh well over 500 pounds and be a “bit” large for our GMC use!

I admit to not understanding the installation of the HHO system. I get the concept and I get the 'can't get something for nothing' aspect. That is,
you loose more energy in reduced engine performance due to increased alternator load than you gain from improved fuel combustion.
HOWEVER, we have a little advantage. That is, many (if not most)of us plug into campground power most nights. This means that we could charge a
battery (or two) and run the HHO system off the resulting 'free' energy. I see that Chuck used 14 Amps as input to his system. I'm electrically
challenged but would not even a typical 750 amp hour battery provide 14 amps for 53 hours or so? That's well over a week of driving for most of us
and I expect the vast majority would plug in somewhere every week or so.
Does the aspect of not using the engine to power the device change the cost benefit analysis?
