115 mA is definitely too much. Unless you mean 115 uA. 115 mA for 10 minutes in 1 liter of water gives 77ppm.
If it really is 115 mA I would suspect that your water (cell) is contaminated. Dan On Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 3:53 PM, Jeff Maahs <[email protected]> wrote: > I just checked and it's running 155mA.
