Hummm,  I wonder if that would work with plugs.  The lead is on the ceramic cone which of course is not a conductor (the ceramic that is), but the lead may conduct unless it is some crystal form (such as Lead sulfide) in which case it may not - very well.
 
But, something to add to the list of things to try.  Certainly has the appeal of simple and able to do a number at a time.

I have an Idea for you engineering types: Use electrolytic method to remove the lead?

You now know as much as anyone does about these things :-)   There's a heap of advertising done to make you think one cleaner is better than another, but I've never found one that really seems significantly better or worse, unless you account for the smell.  Hoppe's does stink, so maybe it's better :-)  
 
Unfortunately, of all the things I've tried, none have just magically rinsed away the lead deposits.  Even soaking and scrubbing doesn't usually work that well for me.  Hopefully, someone will list their secret, guaranteed to work solvent, so I can buy some. 
 
Good luck,
