Great video on welding with batteries and jumper cables (by Will Smith look alike)

Be honest, did you do a double take?

A few rods(keep in air tight container to prevent moisture infiltration), visegrips, a short 4ga battery cable and some good jumpers. Two batteries are good, three is better.

Was it just me or did you get queasy when he picked up the live clamps without gloves? Maybe I'm just a wuss when it comes to electricity.

Wonder how it would work going from a running vehicle with a 100-150 Amp alternator.

24v won't kill you. You might feel a tingle on wet skin other than your hands but not enough to hurt you.

That guy has anothger clip of him welding directly off his duece and a half batteries with the engine running.

I wouldn't do it with any of the newer electronic laiden vehicles though.

no but the amps will

Can't push the amps without the volts. If 24v were lethal, every battery compartment would be labeled and locked.
