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.

How to use car batteries to do emergency welding when out four-wheeling (or any time for that matter.)

A while back I was at a bar and a guy started talking about how his buddy got in trouble in school for making a small ARC welder out of a 9v battery and a throw away camera flash. He said they welded metal pen caps together and they used small paperclips as the welding rod. Does anyone know how they made the welder? Please tell me and include pictures if you can.

This is a bunch of photos and clips of us trying to put a battery tab spot welder together from junks. Please be careful working with the capacitor and transformer in the microwave.
