I did sandblast it first to get rid of the worst rust

Could you use an automotive trickle charger or do they not like that sort of thing?

I have a tank setup, square with rebar in each corner.
Just use old laptop power supplies, ranging from 16v - 19v and 4-6amps.
Seems to do the job.
If there is something really delicate, I use a vat of vinegar.

I do a lot of old tool restoration so have investigated it quite a bit. Some of the more intellectual rattle on about hydrogen embrittlement caused by electrolysis, so when it comes to axe heads or anything that will take a heavy smacking I defer to the vinegar

That's a great idea about the laptop charger. I may have a couple of them floating around from the old dead ones.
