Welding With Batteries. But it wasnt until EVs caught on that laser battery welding started to take off. I put two 12 volt car batteries in series to make 24 volts which is just about right to burn 18 inch rods.

Micro TIG welding can also handle up to 0020-inches 500 micron thick material with a 200 A output power supply but thicker tab material requires additional heat that can be a safety concern. I happened to have some nice juicy batteries in the form of a Golf CartHeres me welding a trailer hitch with 18.
I have occasionally needed to weld something where there was no power available and I didnt have a gas engine welder.
UPDATE I have it backwards when explaining in the video at 202 about running Direct Current Electrode Negative DC-. Battery modules are getting larger and larger and the demand for battery packs is ever-increasing. Hook them up in a parallel for 12VDC at high current and you can. I first tried 18 6010 rod because thats what my searches led me to as the best trail rod.
