I bought a 12 Volt 30 Amp power supply yesterday from Amazon (arriving in a few days) and some appropriate gauge cables (10AWG, max 50 amps according to the amazon page) and some 1cm diameter carbon rod eletrodes and I didn't really consider if it could be too many amps for rust removal. Everyone else I see doing it seems to use 12v with around 2-10 amps, normally from a car battery charger. I wanted to use a proper power supply as car chargers can be awkward to find without the smart features these days, and often aren't that consistent in their output.
As far as I understand, the amperage is how many electrons are output through the wire? Would there be any negative effects of the higher amperage or would it just be faster?
I would appreciate any responses that aren't just guessing and from people that have tried higher amperages or know the physics behind it.
