Question re: electrolysis battery strength

[Magyar]

I have been using a 6-volt battery , but Hank mistakenly bought a 9 volt battery today for the kit.

Is the 9 volt too strong for electrolysis...would it damage the items being cleaned....or is it a safe voltage to use.

Thank you for any help you can offer me on this question

While voltage needs to be taken into consideration it actually the amperage ratings that will do the work for you. A 9 volt battery with a 200 milliamp rating is actually weaker than say a 6 volt battery with a 600 milliamp rating. You will actually get more of a kick from the 6 volts then you would from the 9 volt. Regardless though, DC voltage is nothing to kid around with.

You would be ok with that 9 volt battery...

First thing is to look at the watch, then touch the wires. When you come too, check the watch again, and if you have been out for more than 15 minutes then it is 220v. PLEASE do not try this it is just a joke, DC

Just curious...thanks , again.

Because a battery begins losing its power the minute it begins to be used, milliamp ratings tend to arc downward along with the voltage. I see that you use batteries for your electrolysis. Have you ever thought of using a power supply to do the same thing?

I use a couple of different power supplies for the electrolysis system I put together a while ago. I normally use a 3 vdc 200 milliamp rated power supply. I cut the connector off of it and connected two alligator clamps to the positive/negative wires. I also use a 6 vdc 200 milliamp power supply if I want to cook the item a bit quicker.

For really BIG items I have a 12 vdc, 500 milliamp and a 12 volt 1 amp power supplies. Although I found an item that is worthy enough to zap with the 12 volt power supplies as of yet.

The two 3 vdc and 6 vdc power supplies work just nicely. You should look around and see if you have a power supply collecting dust and use that instead of buying a new battery each time that current one runs down. HA CURRENT GET IT......crap now I am punning too.....

Power supplies run the gamut of voltage and current ratings, there is no standard of one or the other. It all depends on what the power supply is being used for. If you have an old charger for a cell phone that is not being used, that is a good candidate for a modification to be used in your electrolysis system.

My brother makes these up for me, but I didn't want to impose further on him, so I started using the battery style

Here's a pic
