MODEL #10000
$499.00 includes free shipping to the lower 48 US States!
The RWII Model #10000 is cabled best
for battery operation. This model will also connect to all CV (constant
voltage) and DC (direct current) output machines. This model is most
frequently used by repairmen, maintenance workers, 4X4 off-road
enthusiasts, ranchers, boaters, agricultural industry and anyone
primarily using batteries as the power source.
The ground cable is attached to the
red dual quick disconnect connectors. This makes welding jobs in remote
locations easy, portable and quick. This model will run off any 18, 24 &
36 volt batteries in a parallel series depending on the application and
material to be welded. The Model #10000 has a two year 100% parts and
labor limited factory warranty.

Features:
MODEL #10000ADP
$519.00
includes free shipping to the lower 48 US States!
The RWII Model #10000ADP
is cabled for battery operation and with the addition of the
AC to DC Power Converter the Model 10000ADP will also
connect to CC (constant current) stick machines as well as
CV (constant voltage) machines. The Model ADP is most
frequently bought and used by the maintenance
facilities/public works, construction companies, industrial
companies, as well as, repairmen, maintenance workers, 4X4
off-road enthusiasts, ranchers, boaters and the agricultural
industry. Since there are more Stick welding machines in the
market place than any other welder, the Model ADP would be
the perfect buy for those want the ability to connect to all
DC out put welding machines. The Model #10000ADP has a two
year 100% parts and labor limited factory warranty.

FAQ
How long of welding duration time will I get out of a pair
of batteries before I will need to recharge them?
ANSWER: Many factors will determine the length of
acceptable quality welding duration time, with the primary
factors being the the type and size of batteries used and the
type of welding being performed. The thicker the metal being
welded the greater the amperage draw will need to be to obtain
satisfactory results,which will drain the batteries faster.
The size and amp hour ratings of the batteries used will
determine the total amount of power available and thus the
welding time available, We typically recommend group 31 marine
deep cycle batteries as a power source for the Ready Welder
II. A fully charged pair of these batteries will normally
yield a minimum duration of about 45 minutes when welding 1/2"
steel or 3/4 aluminum @ 175 amps, while lighter duty welding
operations on thinner metal can offer a duration time of 4
hours or more. Please see the operating guidelines page for
more battery discussion.
What type of batteries and charger should I buy, and what
type of maintenance do I need to perform on the batteries?
ANSWER: We highly recommend the purchase of good quality
,12 volt deep-cycle marine/RV batteries ranging from group 24
to group31, which is our preference. Get the kind with
vertical posts capped with wing-nuts for easy power
connections to the RW-II. Regular auto batteries and other
batteries not designed for deep cycle discharging and
recharging will have a shorter life span if drawn too low too
many times. For occasional welding this shouldn't be a
problem. For home use a 10 amp overnight charging will work
well. Maintenence of batteries should be according to
manufactures instructions.
Does the trigger control power to the tip and does the
wire feed speed control knob adjust the amperage level fed to
the electrode?
ANSWER: No in both cases. The trigger controls wire feed
(on-off) and gas flow but does not control power feeding to
the tip. The tip is live whenever the RW-II is connected to
power source. The red plastic connectors in the RW-II power
cable are designed to be easily disconnected to de-power the
welder between uses without having to disconnect the cables at
the power source. The wire feed control knob only indirectly
affects the amperage transmitted based upon the physical
volume of wire being fed to the bead, and this effect is
usually moderate. Use of thinner wire, say .023" will reduce
amperage to some extent.
I've got two 12 volt batteries under the hood of my
vehicle. Can I hook up the Ready-Welder II to these batteries
with the motor running and batteries cable still connected?
ANSWER: No. The batteries are normally wired in parallel
for these applications (assuming your vehicle operates ion 12
volt) and the RWI-II normally uses 24 volt for welding and
requires these batteries to be wired in series. Be sure to
read the operating instructions page for some exception to the
24 volt rule! Leaving the batteries connected to the vehicles
electrical system while the RW-II may cause severe damage to
the vehicles electrical system. Don't do it! Quick disconnects
are readily available from Wal-Mart and other stores that make
this easier.
Can I connect the RW-II to my Miller/Lincoln etc MIG or
ARC welder to use as a "spool gun" attachment?
ANSWER: Quite possibly. The RW-II was designed for pure DC
and does not tolerate AC, voltage spikes or input levels which
exceed 48 volts. The circuit board brain of the RW-II is very
sensitive to waveform distortions as well. Welding machines
with "constant voltage" and/or "constant current" DC outputs
which can be adjusted to levels between 24 and 36 volts DC,
may work just fine, but keep in mind that the RW-II was
designed for batteries and any other power source may cause
problems.
