Go to a gold trader/coin dealer. They usually advertise in the yellow pages under gold or coins. They sell .999 fine silver ingots that are about 2 inches by 1.5 inches and 1/8 inch thick, and they're mint stamped .999 fine. The price is usually about $1 over the spot price for silver (I paid $6 for one).
Clamp 1/3 of one end of an ingot in a vise and make three cuts; one down the center and one each bisecting each of the 2 halves. Now turn the piece over in the vise and complete the cuts from the other end. With a little finagling, you now have 4 excellent silver electrodes. You can even bend the ends with pliers so they won't fall through a slot. And you can file or sand the edges smooth so they won't be too hard to clean between batches. Then just clip on your jumper wires and hook up your batteries. Works for me.
