I am looking to do some electrolysis rust removal and need a power supply.
I know the old style car battery chargers are the go-to supply but before I look for one I wondered if I had something already that I could use.
I have old phone chargers, rechargeable torch chargers, etc but I thought these may be too small.
I also have an old stick welder but I am assuming this is too big.
I was just about to throw out an old battery drill. This is an old (20 years) cheap unit. Would this charger be suitable as a power source? Obviously the batteries are duff so I my thoughts would be to utilise an old battery to attach the lead to.
I assume that there could be some circuitry to stop the charger when full so would this stop the power when used in this situation?
Your thoughts please guys as I really would like to get this started (I want to try to de-crust some car parts).
Thanks as always.
