Been thinking about grabbing one myself.

Is the kweld better than malectrics? does it warrant the extra 70-80 euros?

Both makes good welds. Are you building only one or two packs. Go with malectrics and save some €

I have built 6 packs so far with my Malectrics. I love it!

The Arduino from malectrics didn’t worked for me. I’ve bought and use a lot the sunkko and it’s great… You are way quicker and the welds are better with it IMO

Car battery… no modifications. I have an earlier version. This one is even more user friendly

Ive seen a few guys set up the cable/tips to a stationary mount so you’re not holding them by hand. Im gonna bookmark that. Time to talk the wife into letting me build a battery myself.

@Skunk I have a boss level spot welder that’s just sitting here. I got it for free cause a FET was fried, so I had it repaired by Aulakiria. But I’m not gonna end up using it for a while, I can lend it to you. If you want.

That could be pretty cool… I probably don’t wanna go at ot one handed (at least not while learning) . So im not ready till this cast is off. Ill definitely take you up on that tho.

Sender having trouble tracking down your spot welder info

Yes. I have one as well. I use a 3s battery and love it. Compact and store it away it doesn’t take up precious bench space when not in use.
