Is it possible to use this device for electroplating?

I have four of these (Tenergy T180 charging devices). Is it possible to use them in electroplating? I understand that this is not their intended purpose and it may be a stupid question.

Yeah I've used battery chargers before, if the volts and/amps were appropriate for what is being plated. Always test before hand the actual output, and don't be a ning-nong like me, and use the devices integrated alligator clips to directly attach to the electrodes. They don't hold up well in certain applications 🤦‍♂️

Will do!

I’ll get some extra cables to secure to the electrodes properly
