We are taking a restock/holiday break until 15 jan 2018! Happy New Year to everybody!
All the best for a happy holiday break. And a Happy New Year to you and yours!
 
Great news! Still plugging along with repairs with your welder powered by recycled 650A/CCA AGM. A great score. It replaced a Sunnko 799. An unfortunate China welder experience, for me, while others fared well.

On my the bench that monster AGM is no problem. I keep it and a battery conditioner on 24/7/365. All good, no Lipo sweat.

You’ve always supported your products well. Thanks for several good years!

I have several welders. I can’t imagine a reason to not buy another of yours. Thanks for the support.

Hvala van,

Mine has been going strong for years (10's of thousands of welds). Switched to a more flexible car audio power cable which makes it a bit nicer to use.
Using 3S Sinopoly 100Ah LiFePO4 cells, quite degraded from use in a car, but works VERY well.

Anyone weld any Boston Power Swing cells using this welder? If so what settings and material did you use? (.015, .030 nickel, .010, .005 copper)?? I am trying to build 14s5p battery packs for my kids electric scooters. I have 4 cases of these cells and have heard they are very difficult to spot weld. Thanks for your time..

Hi

I sent you a PM. I think you should put any additional contact info like whatsapp, wechat, etc., and also explain better how to order and pay. Thanks.

Send a message and then finish your profile with location. Easy peasy.
 
Hi
I'm very about my jpspotwelder
I have a question
It's possible to weld fuse wire on 18650 with the spot welder?
It's possible to connect one hand welder pen?
Can you tried?

Thanks

Sylvain
 
I started using my welder and it seems I’m getting some weak welds... and they get a little stronger if I rotate the copper leads. Is my battery not strong enough? 530ca 425cca reserve capacity 75 (whatever that means) using .15 nickel at 26ms

If I get a stronger battery would it help? Or do I have to clean/sand the tips of the copper. I know I’m doing something wrong somewhere

Thanks for any input!

Sounds like the battery is too weak. Is it an old battery?

I bought it certified/used from autozone. It currently reads 12.94 volts and it’s been off the trickle charger for 2 days. I’m gonna try and return it for a bigger one today. This may be the issue.
What size battery are you using?

I also have a optima 1000 ca / 800cca battery in my old GTO is that to strong for this?

Dont use too much pressure on the tips! 750CCA is good enough for 0,2mm

wait what? i kind of press down pretty hard on them this way the nickle strip is touching the cells very solid. is that wrong?

i just returned it for a 625cca battery... i'll test it out tomorrow.

Yes, the key is to press so you get a good contact but you cannot press too hard. If you do, your welds will be weak - you need to have some resistance to make the actual weld, this is from my experience with this thing. BIG contact area =weak welds. This is why you get better welds if you turn the leads - probably because they are sharper there=small contact area. This could of course be compensated with more pulse current from the battery.
 
Hello riba. Sent a PM. Do you have a link where I can buy a 12V transformer for North America that will work with your welder?

1. You can use standard 12V ac/dc adapter with 5.5/2.1 mm barrel connector (most common one), 500 mA is fine, maybe even less, but I haven' tried. It's polarity will be marked, it's standard negative outer, and inner pin is positive. There is a diode on the input so nothing will happen if you accidentally reverse polarity.


Here is the one I got:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-100-240...=item33f6530972:g:zxIAAOSw0VZbtr1k:rk:23:pf:0
US $3.82

Nice find! :thumb:

hello friend.
Could I replace the battery with a modified microwave transformer?

The welder circuit won't work with AC. If you had a rectifier on the output of the transformer, it could possibly work but the rectifier would need to handle over 1000 amps. I don't think a transformer would be able to supply enough current to make good welds even if you could find a big enough rectifier.
