What's the use of deliberately killing the components? :shock: Burned eyes - at least are your eyes ok now?

Here I can't help but ask the same boring question: any plans for 5S2P kCap? :wink:

The welding electrodes don't seem to be shorted - could it be the pedal?

Didn't think about it. :( I ordered XT90 connectors along with the hobbyking battery recommended at kWeld page. Should have probably ordered XT150 connectors instead to replace the battery connector...

Thanks! I ordered this item. I made an offer of 25 euros and the seller accepted it. The PSU is VERY clean, I can see a tiny bit of dust inside but overall it looks like a part that was inserted into the system but never really used. I will order kWeld+housing kit and will use it with a lipo...

Could you post a link please? P.S. Of course if I get a dirty one I won't hold you responsible. :D It's probably just my bad luck.

I'd go with a) Got a question though. The 20 euros HP PSU's on eBay look really dirty inside out - are they still ok to buy and use?

:( Well in reality, to save these 60€ I'd have to pay 65€ for your DC-DC converter and 20€ for the HP PSU (still much better than relying on a noname Aliexpress charger). I'd say a 2p5s module would make the kWelder really universal because one could buy any decent computer PSU and hook it up...

Ok I have another question. How close to the max voltage should I get to use the welder at full power? Suppose I get this charger; will the 7.2V setup enable me to weld 0.3 nickel strips to my batteries, or do I need to get as close to 8.1V as possible? I'm not very smart when it comes to...

tatus1969 - thanks! :( :( :( spinningmagnets - yeah but it looks like that resistor would have to dissipate ~250W. :(

Please I have a stupid question. What if I get a really huge PSU? Like, 5V 100A PSU? Will your capacitor module still short it and cause it to shut down?
