If you are meticulously clean, and only allow pure aluminum or titanium into the baths, then they last for a very long time. Contaminate them with anything, and they'll leave marks on all of your stuff.
Anodizing creates heat, you need it cool, but as long as the tank is large enough it's not a big deal. Dying is done warm (90-150 F depending on the color). Sealing is done at boiling temps.
Dye can be used until it dries up, you're actually putting dye particles into the anodizing structure, so after hundreds of runs it will be gone...
Constant amp source, not constant volt source.
Easiest way to clean a part is sandblasting then pure soap and water, but it will be matte after that. If you want shiny, you need to clean it chemically by hand (rounds of acetone, high grade alcohol, pure soap, distilled water). Don't de-smut it if you want it to be shiny.

This is great, thank you.
I think my old manual battery charger has a setting for 2A, 15A, and 100A
