Hi,
I’ve been doing quite a bit of research on the super informative battery builders thread (and other related threads) I’d like to start building my own packs for personal use. If anyone has a used spot welder they can part with I’d love to purchase it.
Please let me know, and thanks for checking out this post!
Best,
Jason
Giving myself a little bump! I know these are in demand so I wasn’t overly optimistic, but still hoping. 
why not go for the flipsky one? : P
because I want my batteries to have a decent quality of life and not suffer unnecessarily
it seems pretty good lol
Are you US based?
I’ve got a couple of Sunkko’s I’m not using anymore, lmk if you’re interested and I’ll get you the details.
Because it’s awful
If you aren’t gonna be building packs often I’d highly recommend a 700cca car battery w float charger and malectrics. It won’t degrade over time (lipos) and the malectrics seems to be less picky with batteries.
: P
Thanks for the replies everyone!
@DougM,
Yes, I’m in Southern California, and would definitely be interested in one of your used Sunkko’s. I haven’t researched those much but do know they have a good reputation. I don’t know what a fair price for one of them would be so please let me know. Thanks a lot!
Even though I won’t be building a ton of pack, I will be building more than a few. Not just for myself but I’m also planning on using the knowledge I’ve gained here to build my sister in law, who’s paraplegic, a motorized beach wheelchair so she can accompany my wife and kids to the beach when we go. She’s like a second mom to the kids, so I plan on building as safe a pack as possible. I’ll be showing it to the pros here first and asking lots of questions to ensure it’s built properly. For that reason, I’m looking for a welder that can reliably handle .2 nickel. Thanks again guys!
Do your research and lmk. Maybe 50% of retail and you cover shipping? They aren’t light, shipping might be significant.
I also have one of these things if you want to roll your own
Caveat I might not be able to put my hands on all the pieces, but i think I know where one of the foot pedals is.
Buy one from Maletrics. It pays for itself with the first battery you sell.
Thanks for the tip bro! I might just do that. They’re out of stock until at least January, so I figured at ask around. Doug may have a used one available, but that’s still up in the air. I’m not in a big rush because I’m still in the planning phase for my sister’s electric beach wheelchair. I’m also looking to learn how to mig weld as part of the project so I have a lot to keep busy. I really appreciate the advice you guys have provided me.
