Ignis Battery

Ignis Battery—for welding with the mobile battery-powered welding machine

Fully autonomous electrode welding and TIG welding

Whether you’re working on exposed installations and construction sites, in the great outdoors, or in an open field: These and many other situations pose a particular challenge for welding specialists. Complex grid leads often have to be laid to the welding point or a heavy and noisy generator used—both very costly and time-consuming measures.

With the Ignis Battery, a mains power connection is not required. Thanks to complete independence from the energy supply, you can rely on a stable and high-performance welding process for both manual arc and TIG welding with innovative battery technology. Leaving you to focus fully on the task at hand.

Highlights of the Ignis Battery

Longer welds with just one battery charge

All electrodes can be welded: Rutile, basic, cellulose. You can weld up to thirty-one 2.5 mm or twelve 3.25 mm electrodes on just one battery charge. Alternatively, 30 minutes of continuous TIG welding can be performed (at 100 A)—independent of power and without recharging.

Mobile and robust

Despite the integrated battery, the Ignis Battery weighs just 12 kg (without charger). The robust design of the device and the stainless steel filter also support demanding outdoor use, on rough terrain or in adverse weather conditions.

Stable, powerful battery

Special features: 84 battery cells, 750 Wh, no memory effect, low self discharge, voltage monitoring of all battery cells and protection from overcharging, deep discharge, and overheating. A quick charge is possible in just 40 minutes (80% power), full charging takes 60 minutes.

Manual arc and TIG welding in one device

Manual arc and TIG welding are integrated as standard in the Ignis Battery: The best of both worlds in one device!

Usable anywhere—regardless of mains voltage

The Ignis Battery charger is available in country-specific variants. The welding machine can therefore be used in regions with different mains voltages.

Operating modes

Battery mode

Perfect welds in every position
The welding energy is drawn exclusively from the battery. One battery charge is sufficient for around thirty-one 2.5 mm or twelve 3.25 mm electrodes. Alternatively, 30 minutes of continuous TIG welding can be performed (at 100 A).

Hybrid mode—charging and welding simultaneously

Generator-powered operation
Facilitates mobile applications and saves investment costs: Due to the low current consumption, a much smaller generator (2 kVA) can be used than with grid-connected devices—without compromising on welding power or arc quality.

Mains operation
Full output power of 150 A even with a 20 V mains supply: The battery’s integrated power reserve guarantees a constant arc even in the event of mains voltage fluctuations and prevents the mains fuse from tripping in case of power surges.

The MMA welding functions

HotStart

In order to make the electrode easier to ignite, the current is increased for fractions of a second on the MMA welding machine. The HotStart function was specially developed for welding with rutile and cellulose electrodes.

SoftStart

This function ensures a stable arc at the start of welding and has been specially developed for basic electrodes that weld at a low welding current.

TrackingArc

This function acts like a flashlight. Igniting the arc with only eight amperes makes it easier to find the exact starting position when re-igniting after the end of welding or an electrode change. In this way, you can avoid welding errors such as insufficiently filled end-craters or notch effects as well as time-consuming rework. The TrackingArc function is specifically designed for applications that do not use an automatic welding helmet or shield.

Anti-stick

Prevents electrode burn-out: If the electrode sticks during manual arc welding—equivalent to a short circuit—the power output of the welding machine switches off immediately.

MMA Pulse

Better-looking welds and even faster welding thanks to the MMA Pulse function—especially in out-of-position welding.

The TIG welding functions

TIG Comfort Stop

Prevents arc break at the end of welding: Once the welding process is complete, the welding current switches off automatically after a specific change in the arc length. This ensures improved welding results in the area of the end-crater because the gas shield is also maintained.

TAC tacking function

For tacking, one point is enough: The pulsed arc sets the two weld pools in motion, making them “jump together” in next to no time, forming one single weld pool. The TAC function is also very useful when welding light-gage sheets without filler metal.

TIG Pulse

This function (up to 100 Hz) enables precise control over the weld pool and ensures excellent seam jointing. The pulsed arc makes it easier to work with very thin materials, because the temperature is slightly lower in the phases with less current.

TIG Multilock System

Simpler, more flexible welding: The Multilock System offers a variety of different and interchangeable torch bodies in various lengths and angles.

TIG Multi Connector (TMC)

One solution for everything: This universal connection for system components, such as welding torches with special functions (Up/Down, potentiometers) or remote controls, gives the user cross-product advantages. The TIG Multi Connector is integrated into the Ignis Battery as standard.

For today, tomorrow, and beyond

It’s in your hands

Durable
Boasting a long service life, repairable, and with many components suitable for recycling. A high-quality stainless steel filter inside the device, robust housing, and 3.5 cm ground clearance guarantee the welding machine will have a long service life.

Low-noise welding
The Ignis Battery allows you to weld very quietly in battery mode, especially compared with larger generator-powered devices. If a generator is required for longer welding jobs, a compact 2 kVA device is sufficient.

Energy-efficient welding
The energy stays exactly where it is needed: In addition to voltage monitoring, the innovative Battery Management System also watches over the charging process and ensures protection against overcharging and deep discharge. The optionally adjustable automatic time shutdown (300 or 900 s) ensures that valuable energy is not wasted including in standby mode.
