Did you put something in series to keep a lid on the current? Like a
resistor, or a potentiometer? I went to the local surplus store and
bought a potentiometer for 75 cents. It is a 75 ohm, and has a twist
knob handle to raise and lower the resistance. I just hooked it up
with wires in series with the batteries and the silver wires, then
adjusted it, reading the multimeter to see where to set it. I had to
let it run for awhile, since there is no current to speak of when it
first starts off. Just getting a resistor will do it too, but I can't
remember what the right size would be. The ideal current is below one
amp with my wires. But since your have much more silver, you need to
know the surface area of the silver to determine the best current
limit for your set up.

Of course, those who are selling colloidal silver are trying to make
some money at it, which is fine, but in doing so they are mistakenly
criticizing those who make it at home. Properly made, electrically
isolated silver water, will beat store bought any time in my
opinion, because it is fresher, and I have found that even well made
silver that sits on the shelf needs shaking or something. There are
a few brands I still buy and use when necessary, and they work fine,
but it costs much more than what I make.
Whether or not one's home made silver water is superior to store
bought depends entirely on the materials and the process, which
determines what we end up with. Using pure water, pure silver, and a
current controlled power source will yield ions of silver in
solution in the water. You can't get any better than that, in my
opinion.
