So it's true series cell. Clever idea since you have made 4, 8mm holes on top of your plates for gas output. Yes, we can use these holes to level electrolyte easily. But if the cell fixed to car, this method becomes troublesome.

Then you are measuring the input power wrong. We must always measure voltage across load (cell) and not from power source. Maybe, you should measure voltage across power source and cell and see the difference. The more amps the cell pulls, the more voltage drop across load (cell).

You should get very much higher efficiency with this design as its true series cell.
