Poor Man's Guide to
Welding With Batteries
Build a homemade welder. Yes, Battery Welding can be fun. You can use batteries to make a homemade arc welder! This e-book is for the do-it-yourselfer that wants a very inexpensive but POWERFUL and portable arc welder. It is for someone that may live off the grid or doesn't have 240 volt power to their workshop or the place where the welding needs to be done. It is for someone that wants an easy to build pulser / charger for bringing back to life car batteries that have been thrown out. I even use the pulser for fixing my nicads.
This was great because I could put the welder in the back of my truck and weld anywhere. I even bought 3 of those cheapo (12 v - 2 watt) solar panels and put them in series so that they would charge 36 volts. That way they are always charged.
I've even welded 1/2 inch plate steel before and it was no problem!
