Power supply for anodising?

[Boyan Silyavski]

For an experiment could you just use a standard lead acid car battery 3 sq/f would take 3 hours at 12A

I used that while waiting for my PSU. The thing is that there are certain times where you have to take certain steps and there is nothing better watching at the display what's happening with the Amp draw. In fact you have to limit it at the beginning, hence the need for Volt Amp separate control. I guess with and digital amp meter you could do that monitoring. With the proper PSU and using the calculator above, i was able to reach desired anodizing thickness at first try.
