you can do some good 24v welding. 36v is good for cutting

I did the dual battery weld a few weeks back and it worked ok to get me home. Power/penetration was not a problem but the arc was all over the place and it was hard to see where your puddle was.

I am ordering a Mobi Arc 130 from my neighbor. After seeing him weld a D35 shaft together with one I was convinced it was a decent welder. They cost about 600 bucks and require a minimum of a 130 amp alternator.

It is called the Powermaster in the JP article. JP seemed to like it too.
