Silver nitrate electrolyte

[BonesWild]

How often do you stir the electrolyte in the silver cell besides once a day? Should I be stirring it up a couple times of day?

I stirred mine when I started the cell and another time when I topped it off. But generally try to leave it alone so the crystal structures are bigger.

Thanks for the answer. First run on the cell.

3-5 VDC
Maintain plenty silver feed stock it goes fast
A little copper in the electrolyte solution helps w/ ion transport
Rinse the crystals well
Cement out spent electrolyte
(I add the first two rinses in w/ the spent electrolyte then cement out the silver)
If using copper pipe to cement out sand it well then flatten it .
Best of luck

Once every day or two ought to be enough.
