The Performance you Expect from Lincoln Electric
Outstanding E6010, E7018 & Touch Start TIG® Performance
The ELEVATE™ SLi offers a robust 145A output for efficient welding. It accommodates various welding rods, including 6010 and 7018 up to 5/32 in. (4.0 mm), and features Touch Start TIG® functionality.
A full charge provides approximately:
- 21 - 3/32 in. (2.4 mm) electrodes
- 9 - 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) electrodes
- 6 - 5/32 in. (4.0 mm) electrodes
*Actual results may vary based on welding conditions, machine parameters, material properties, operator technique, and battery lifecycle.
Advanced Features to Tackle any Challenge
Proven Chopper Technology®
Benefits include easy arc starts, smooth arc action, low spatter levels, and optimal bead appearance.
Hot Start
Adjustable amperage during arc initialization improves electrode starting. The current decreases to the set output after the arc is established. Increasing from 0 to 10 adds additional current at arc initiation.
Arc Force
Controls penetration from soft arc to crisp arc. A high arc force value creates a crisp arc, while a low value creates a soft arc. The range is from -10 (Soft) to +10 (Crisp).
The Next Generation of Simplicity & Control
All-In-One Internal Charging System
No external charger or custom power cord is needed. The system charges the battery, regulates power without overcharging, and is compatible with readily-available cords. The anti-vibration battery system protects the battery from shocks.
Multiple Ways to Weld
Use the ELEVATE™ SLi for a cordless experience or plug into a standard 120V wall outlet for charging while welding. Power your welder anytime, anywhere.
- Battery Operation: Full welding capabilities powered directly from the internal battery.
- Charge While Welding: Advanced battery management system (BMS) allows seamless transition from charging to welding. Power draws from the battery when the arc starts and switches back to charging when the arc is finished.
- Generator Usage: Can charge or operate on a compatible generator.
Built for the Field
Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Technology
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology offers good electrochemical performance, low resistance, and is one of the safer, more stable battery systems available.
Fan-As-Needed Circuitry
This technology reduces debris entry by shutting off the fan when unnecessary. The fan activates before components overheat, prolonging electronics' life and decreasing power usage during idle periods to conserve battery life.
Designed for Durability
The ELEVATE™ SLi is built to last in harsh welding environments with an IP23S enclosure rating, protecting the equipment for outdoor use. Features include environmentally coated PC boards, harness connectors with locking pins sealed with electrical grease, and cycling tested through extremes of temperature, humidity, and dust.
Benefits of Lithium Iron Phosphate:
- Longer life span
- No maintenance
- Safer
- Low cost
- Improved discharge and charge efficiency
