Before you do that, try increasing the effective surface used in each
lemon. Use Copper and Al plates that are as large as will conveniently
fit in the lemon.
Even better, shove in 3 or 4 of each, spacing them evenly and alternating
copper and aluminum. Then wire all the Al together to form one pole and
all the Cu together to form the other. If you have 4 of each, you will
have created seven cells which use the area on both sides of most of
the plates ( the ends are not used ). These seven cells are wired in
parallel. You will also get a much greater CFUF ( Citrus Fruit Utilization
Factor) using this method.
