ESAB unveiled its Renegade VOLT™ ES 200i Stick/TIG battery-powered welding system, which ESAB developed in conjunction with Stanley Black & Decker. Powered by four DEWALT® FLEXVOLT® 12 Ah (amp-hour) batteries, Renegade VOLT offers maximum welding output of 150A on battery power. It also connects to 115/230V AC primary power and provides a maximum welding output of 210A on 230V primary. VOLT is an efficient, robust, and portable machine for tough jobs in the field and has the battery power and performance to weld through a standard work shift.
The Renegade VOLT battery box can detach for easier transportation, or when connected to 115/230V power; it also enables users to hot swap the batteries so they can continue welding without interruption. A four-port fast charger (included) charges the batteries from zero to full charge in about 100 minutes. The unit weighs 40 lbs. with the battery box and 25 lbs. when the box is detached. The product will be available for sale in early Q1 2023.
Applications that benefit from Renegade VOLT’s location flexibility include maintenance and repair, construction, shipyard, rail, power generation, offshore and farm/agriculture.
