0lemonie 10 years ago 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. L
0lemoniejules15 Answer 10 years ago 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. L
0orksecuritylemonie Answer 10 years ago Yep. Look at the manual for what its rated duty cycle is at that power level.
0lemonieorksecurity Answer 10 years ago Small I should think<5%? (for some reason I didn't want to mention "duty-cycle"). L
0steveastrouk 10 years ago 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.
