Emergency welding technique using 3 car batteries wired in series. Knowing how to do this may just save you from haivng to leave your rig out in the middle of nowhere. If you're going to go wheeling you need to know how to save your own butt. AAA doesn't respond if your 20 miles off the beaten path. This is the second video that I've done on this subject. The first video showed me doing an acutal trail repair, but wasn't very detailed. I had so many responses from people that didn't understand what was going on, or for some reason thought it wasn't possible, that I decided to do a video in a controlled environment and show exactly what welding with car batteries is all about.

  • I like how your welding with the garage door shut, with stick no less!

  • @rob320is There is TONS of ventillation in that garage. The prior owner was painting cars in there and what you can't see are the massive roof vents. I've welded in much, much, more confined environments..lol...

  • @WheeliePete..... Do you think a 3/32" rod (next size smaller than 1/8") would produce a smoother and more consistent arc due to the lower voltage of roughly 36v??? I'm thinking of using the 3/32" 6011 rods because I saw how difficult it is to keep a consistent arc using 1/8" size. Please give me your opinion on that. Thank you!!!!!!!!

  • @ColtDeltaElite10mm Absolutley! I would just experiment around and find what works for you. I'm going to try and do an update video for this in the near future and use some different rods, rod sizes, etc.

  • is it possible to use one or multiple pc power supplies to weld?

  • @mossmon I have no idea. Might be worth a shot.

see all
