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.
