I haven't come across any negative sides, the colors come out deep. I suppose if I heated the dye I could probably cut my dye immersion time down some but that would be only like 5-10 mins.

he uses 12 amps per square foot at 15v how is that posible, i guess the 720 rule doesn't apply here, i do my runs at 12amps, 30 volts no matter what alloy im using im doing things wrong i guess does any one has the voltage vs alloy info?

His acid is much stronger, and therefor the volts needed for a given amperage is lower.
The 720 rule applys only to 1:3 battery acid/water.

They probably have someone monitoring tank acid and aluminum concentrations. Using CC, fluctuations in their levels is compensated for where it is not in CV.
