Default Power supply

Hello there, I'm trying to set up some tanks for zinc, nickel and chrome (hope I can get Copy Chrome here in Italy...!). My first question is about the current, as I went to a galvanic laboratory and they told me they use a rectifier @ 4 V DC. I have the chance of getting a big rectifier (it's actually an industrial battery charger) @ 24 V DC, 100 Amp. Would that be something useful for my purpose or I definitely need less voltage? Is there maybe any easy (=cheap ) way of controlling the tension coming out of such a power supply? Otherwise I guess I am going to have to use car batteries with a rheostat, or find another rectifier...

Thanks for your very kind help! This forum is a knowledge mine!
