Has anyone tried daisy-chaining flasks?  Hmmmm.....

Not that I know of. I think the main problem with that would be keeping the cell voltages equal.
There is the unknown and the unknowable.  It's a wise man who knows the difference.

Hmm.  I would think a volt meter across each cell should be telling...  I may give it a go here soon. 8)

If I wanted to run more than one batch at a time, I would be tempted to run them in parallel, from the same laboratory PSU. The combined amperage would be pretty trifling for a power supply rated at 2 Amps. This would be much easier than series production, and one ammeter per cell would give you adequate timings.

I would not risk a SilverTron for such a venture, though.
