- ubdussamad commented on ubdussamad's instructable How to Make a Soldering Iron With a 6 Volts Battery.
Lol, I was quite unsure of my age back then I guess. :)
Not even close unless you really ramp up your game and make dedicated mounts and everything but then it'd be insanely cheaper to just buy a regular iron. It's just a fun project in case of emergencies, nothing even close to a professional iron.
If you're really desprate then sure. :)
I worked with it for quite a while 2 months give or take. Although it takes a toll on a regular 6V lead acid battery and they tend not to last long with this kinda high current usage. The effective power should be around 20Watts +- 5.
