Hi ,
I'm Looking to remove rust via electrolysis. I use to do this with an old battery charger that i had, (and can no longer find an old one). The battery charger would have an output of about 4 amps, and worked well.
Now automotive stores sell smart battery chargers, which have their benefits, but not for this approach.
I had 2, smart battery charges, it ruined 1, the other seems to survive, however to get the battery charger started I have to hook it up to a battery first with all other electrolysis wires attached. Once it starts, I disconnect the charger from the battery & the charger thinks it is still charging the battery... However my smart charger is too smart I guess and realizes something is wrong with the "battery" and turns off the current. I am looking for some other means to do this instead of the charger.. perhaps make use of this https://www.elliottelectronicsupply.com/power-supplies/ac-transformer-12-vct-4a.html ?
I am pretty much electronically ignorant, so sorry for not being more detailed. Basically I want to plug in a unit to household current, have about 13 V output having either 2, or 4 amps. Battery chargers give this amp option ( along with 6 amp additionally - usually.
Of course, the cheaper the better.
Andy input would be much appreciated!
Thanks so much

Metal plates beneath the plastic frame are my anode, part to be cleaned is cathode
