4.1. Power Supply Requirements
The performance of the spot welder is highly dependent on the quality of the power source. Ensure your power source meets the following criteria:
- Acid Battery: Battery car battery: 20AH x 2 (new)
- New Car Starter Battery: 36-45AH
- Model Battery: 3S4000MAH 35C, 3S 5000MAH 25C, 3S 8000MAH 20C
- Car Starter Power: 11.5-14.8V, 36-60AH. Internal resistance should be greater than 2.5 milliohms, but less than 7 milliohms.
- Self-Assembled Battery: 11.5-14.8V. Requires a total internal resistance of less than 7 milliohms.
