2 batteries, and a charger with the cables you couldv'e bought a real welder, cheap but much more safe than taking the chance of melting your face off. yeah yeah move the batteries away won't solve a thing, if they blow up your out of 2 batteries, and possibly destroying your charger as well. IMO Not a smart plan at all. But in a macgyver kind of way, good job lol
Already owning 2 car batteries is WAY cheaper than buying a welder. Batteries also are good for other uses as well, like jumpstarting a car, and emergency power, and more. I have four of them.
The charger won't get hurt, as it's an old broken charger I got for free, and I repaired. It has an internal 12A self-resetting circuit breaker, as most chargers do, and I've tripped it a few times with no issues. I also can weld without the charger I come to find, so it's mainly there just to charge the batteries after I'm done.
Like previously mentioned, I have NO FEAR of exploding batteries. NO FEAR. Electricity is my friend for life, and I respect it.
All due respect, why do you say it's not a smart plan, even though others say it's a great idea? Finding a way to make a necessity with
ZERO cost is smarter than spending $150 on a welder when you have no job or money. It also puts the power in my hands, by not needing someone else to do it for me.
I find people in life always tell you what you can't do before they say what you CAN do...... I know you don't mean anything bad by it, as most people fear electricity and chemicals, until they fully understand them. It's cool, and I'm 100% willing to take the risks involved.
But thanks for the McGuyver compliment, LOL. I tend to do stuff like that a lot, just look at my bike trailer born from a Handtruck.
