You could just store the electrodes in distilled water. Keep an eye out
for any changes around the adapter.
Seems to me that one an electrode gets a grey or black surface on it,
that alone will protect it from tarnish. I've never had a problem with
it...only a very slight change on old unused silver that's easily
removed...never on a used electrode.
A layer of tarnish would be quite thin and harmless.
If the electrodes are getting a heavy tarnish just sitting around, it's
sulpher for the most part that does the tarnishing, so you might have some
sulphuric acid in your air? Could that be a source of the problems you
have with the larger batches????
Do you have a coal fired power plant up wind?
I believe your part of the world does have sulpher mines.
It would be interesting to see if your electrodes tarnish in your DW

Ken,
OK, makes sense. Reason I wanted to try it was to keep the wires
from tarnishing in the air, any ideas?
