What kind of car battery charger gives you 200A?
You should use welding rods, and like steve' said without regulation you've little control over what it does.

Its a charger/engine starter with 2, 10, 40, or 200 amps
Ah, a starter too. I'm thinking that it wouldn't give you 200A for long. That is you'd spend a lot of time waiting for it to cool down.

Yep. Look at the manual for what its rated duty cycle is at that power level.
Small I should think<5%?
(for some reason I didn't want to mention "duty-cycle").

Why bother with the carbon rod ? It will weld (DC) directly. Not sure how well it will work, because the regulation is usually non-existent. Try it.
