Hi, We have a micro welding app. Using 12v 2 amp battery charger works, want to experiment on volts, Would yours work? scraping 28 G wire, would it short and stop?

If this is arc welding, then a higher voltage would allow a smaller tip. Most laboratory power supplies have a current limiting setting (left set of knobs). When operating in constant current mode, the supply will adjust it's voltage to whatever is needed to maintain that current. If that voltage is close to zero (due to short circuit), the current will still flow at the limit setting. If you max out the current limit setting to 3A, and the resistance is not too low, the supply can offer up to 30 volts (90 Watts max).

It would work but I not suggest using for this purpose for any prolonged period.

Good question. After researching for over 2 hours, I'm going to try this product for soldering silver plated rings Silver Bearing Wire Soldering Paste Welding Jewelry, 7.1 Gram wish me luck. xox

Be careful! The charger will burn out as did mine when I plugged into 220 volts. I had to order another charger ($90) compatible with 220 volts. Makita was somewhat ambiguous on voltage which took to mean variable voltage.

13.8 volts at 30 amp continuous = 414 watts. I have only run 20 amps continuous with spikes to 30 amps so far. Battery charger requiring DC power???

That's the idea behind any type of battery charger AC to DC. If I understand your question properly, you have the Tender plugged into a regular AC outlet and are charging a 12v DC ATV battery. It will work just fine.

battery tenders only charge at around 1 ampere, just about any size wire will be sufficient, in any event they work very well for the intended purpose, and the size of fuse is probably 7 amps if you are planning to jump start then attach jumpers to battery directly

By that I guess you mean ones that this charger was not designed to work with right? Well, that is a little tricky based on what you are trying to charge. If it is a commercial battery for a drill, you can get something similar to this if you just type the drill's name or model. You don't have to worry about typing the specific battery model number or the specific charger model number and you will see a few results for just the charger mixed in with the results. I typed craftsman 19v and found this one. If you are trying to charge something else or another tool or battery by another manufacturer and you don't know exactly what you are doing, you are asking for trouble but I will give you a few tips. 1) Lithium ion batteries are ticking time bombs. They will explode if over charged with too much voltage or current. 2) LiPo will explode if wrong polarity is used. 3) Most of them have protections from the things that make them explode and some even have them per cell. Some of them though rely on the charger to be smart enough not to over charge and have odd terminals so you can't charge it in any other charger. 4) They all operate in series and some, like this one, even charge in series. Thus with a multimeter, find the polarity of the battery you want to charge and the approximate voltage (I.e. if you have a 24 volt battery and it has 4 terminals and per two terminals you find that they are 10 volts each when low on charge then one can assume that you have 2 sets of 12 volt batteries in a series) then just get some alligator clips and clip them to another power source or power adapter of the same voltage and then sawpt them between the series. One time I really needed a device and I forgot the charger and I did this by connecting the alligator clips to my car for 30 mins then I swapped them to the other terminals for 30 mins too and it got me out of trouble. Just be really careful not to overcharge. Hope this helps.

Hello, I bought this converter in combination with a 110V pyrographic tool. After two days use, the tool had a short circuit and also the converter was burned through.I dont know if it was the tool or the converter that has caused the malfunction. That was my experience; I cannot advise you. The only thing I can say is that I would not buy this converter again. Wish you luck with your purchase!!! Hans Melissant

No idea, but I think it draws too much power for small wires. Connections may have corroded just enough for voltage drop.

absolutely...but you may need to weld both sides though and/or use a circular motion and highest current setting. May need to play around with wire feed speed as well. I'd practice on some scraps first...

If you are running with 220v input voltage you should be OK. For 1/8" material your amperage should be close to the 60% duty cycle rating or about 5-6 min of continuous welding which should be adequate for 20" weld length. If your time in-between welds is short however, that could be an issue over a long time of continuous welding. I assume there will be some repositioning and other breaks which will increase the welder rest time. I typically do not weld more than 4-8 in. at a time but have never had any duty cycle issues. If you are using the 110v input you could run into problems with duty cycle as you are highly stressing the machine running 20" beads. If you are running with 220v input voltage you should be OK.

Not sure how you want to use it, but it works fine as described in product description. I use it for attaching Hotfix Iron On Studs and it does a great job. It is just a tiny iron and only needs 110 volts to work.

You should look at running 2 - possible 3 100 watt panels, if an upgrade for future look at 10 gauge panel wire, it seems your running 12 volt, but your inverter and charger will depend. I've got a 40 amp 12/24 charger but batteries will run at 12 bought in a kit with 6 100 watt panels but told to only run 5 as my 60 amp also takes 1600 watts if at 24, but running at 12 so 800 watts mix up and I was sent a 12 both are mppt, you can probably run 5-6 100 watts if you have 2/ 25 amps combined, if not mppt they will keep charging but at a lower rate will destroy your batteries if not in use all the time, go with 10 gauge wire you will be happier.

Yes , the charger will charge batteries between 6v-12v so you will be ok. depending on wich "female connector" you have it should work great. and if it doesn't include the connector you need, you could always run down to your local hobby shop and pick up a adapter .

It will work but then you are not protected in an overload. Should have a 20amp breaker. The circuit can handle it, wire & breaker, but the charger would not trip the breaker if there was an overload. Simply just change the breaker to a 20 Amp.

I am using this unit to charge single 110 amp battery. I think this unit can only charge single battery. But if you want to charge multiple batteries you have to make sure total Amp does not exceed 130 amps. And you might have to buy additional cables. I Hope this info was helpful.

You should use at least 8 gauge heavy copper wire for that distance because of low voltage and higher amps for charging. Only do it outdoors away from combustible material.
