Wire welder as Lipo charger power supply

[Jethro56]

Would a wire welder such as a Miller 251 be a good power supply for a 12/24V Hyperion Charger like the 1420i? I got thinking that a welding booth would be a good place to charge the batteries and duh I got a big power supply.

Might put out power too dirty for the charger to like it, like dumb 12v automotive chargers do.

Chargers want nice clean DC power, not the pulsing hash from welders/automotive chargers.

You could use a server power supply if you want something cheap.
