Acidrain knows about doing PB guns. The reason for the size tank is the heat generated has to be dissipated into the tank without raising the tank temperature beyond limits. Excessive heat promotes dissolution. Dissolution is where the acid naturally dissolves the coating being grown. If not dealt with through agitation and temp, it can dissolve the coating as fast as it can grow.
Although a battery charger of the right type and size can be used with success, it almost always causes many headaches. The main one being control of the necessary current to do the job.
