And I would think 33.3% is optimal (a mixture of 2H2 + O2, e.g. Brown's gas or 'HHO'.
Optimal as in easiest to detonate on compression.

If you compress hydrogen like generated with your own electrolyser and you cannot guarantee that no oxygen will seep in along with it then you run a very high risk.
If you compress straight Brown's gas (yes 'HHO') then it goes beyond being a risk. Lethal detonation is a certainty.

Be safe and refrain from going this way.
