Battery-powered welder and method of use

Abstract

A battery-powered welder with a plurality of quick-connect modular components includes a power source component; a neck assembly component to create an electric arc between an electrode wire and workpiece metal, causing the electrode wire and workpiece metal to melt and join; an electrode spool component including an electrode wire spool reel housing and spool to carry the electrode wire; a wire feed component including a motor to feed the electrode wire from electrode spool component into the neck assembly component; a handle component for holding and operating the battery-powered welder during use; a flexible cable to provide remote attachment of various components to avoid additional hand held weight; a power source component to power the battery-powered welder, wherein the power source component, the neck assembly component, the electrode spool component, the wire feed component, the handle component, the flexible cable, and the power source component include quick connects to allow seamless, simplistic interchange and reconfiguration of the battery-powered welder.
