DIY Spot Welding machine for battery packs
From wikiluntti
Introduction
NE555
Transformer
Theory: NE555 based
Idea
The 555 timer circuit controls MOSFETs that deliver short, high-current pulses for welding nickel strips. The 555 shall work in monostable mode.
The MOSFETs (IRLB4132 or IRF3205) handle the high welding current.
