New battery powered welder

[R Kraft]

I did some work for an old guy who used to own a construction company.
As part of my fee he traded me this welder.
I suppose it will be uncontrollable, on anything less than 1/2 inch.
It uses one large 24v battery or two 12v hooked as 24v.
I've got a couple of new car batteries and a 50amp charger,so I just need the weather to warm up.
Should be interesting anyway.

should be good. Is that aluminum wire in it?

A 10-15 year old roll of flux core.
Things don't rust here, we have no humidity.

looks great for that age! Nice and simple any chance of some pics of the welds.

Sure
If it ever warms up outside, I don't have any safe place indoors.
Two people I know have burnt their shops down lately.
So I'll be cautious, for a while.
