Thats 1800 apache box doesn’t feel cheap at all using it for a 10s6p battery with bms and also building a 12s5p with my trusty spot welder but still looks really good for storage it even looks to have more space for other things to fit

Payment sent. Next step is 18650 batteries now. Also can this lipo work for this spot welder ? Or do I need the 5000mah ?
You need a large lipo. From others trying to use small lipo it doesn’t work very well. Long ms times and Multi-stage. I’m using an 8k mAh nanotech lipo. It works great.

You are right. I guess at least 5000 is needed, 8000 mah is perfect. Saving cash on the lipo is not a good idea.

I will take your advice and get a 8000mah one instead. Thanks for clarification
Im gonna try my spot welder today, but when i plug it with tue battery and turned on, there is a fast beeping sound, so i didn’t pursue to test( dont wanna screw up), any one knows what’s happening with this?
Anything on the screen?
What battery? Can you post a video?
Are the tips replaceable? Im almost at the end of mine
also for cooling an old processor heatsink and a bit of thermal paste works wonders!
im welding super fast so i reach those 50c in minutes

How many welds have you done to go through that many tips?
I use
You can replace tips forever with one of those. I couldn’t find It at local hardware stores. Maybe you can. That link is cheap anyway.

It works. It’s pretty similar to the one lee uses. I used slightly thicker too. Didn’t really improve.

That Will work because nanotech has real ratings but beware…50c burst is low. If you pick another lipo with 50c burst “overrated” It will make poor welds.

How hard should it be to rip off the strip? I’m using 0.2x7mm strip and 9000mAh 4S 45C battery. I feel that I need 5ms/2x (3ms pause) before I get them sticking…
