I was one of the first guy to buy it a little over a year ago. 811H 42kw is highly recommended. I generally use 0.2 copper and 0.15 nickel coated steel. Works great.
Curious.... is strength the reason for nickel coated steel in packs? I have a few 21700 based Milwaukee packs with bad cells that I am rebuilding with Molicells and they appear to have steel based strips. Thanks Richard
@@1bottlefed in my case the nickel-coated steel is just used to hold the copper down. Copper is a better conductor but doesn't stick very well unless you have a very expensive machine. Mine can weld copper directly but the steel is just an extra layer of redundancy. Basically it's all about current flow. If you're still is able to flow enough current then it's fine to use. I use copper.becsuse I'm pushong 400+ amps and the copper helps keep thing cool.
@@vesc007 I have been building copper for about 3 years and the only one to have an issue was one that sat in an inch of water because the owner left it in the rain. Most my batteries are like you see with the FR4 in shrink wrapping with silicone to seal it. Then are then placed in 3mm TIG welded aluminum boxes.
You just bough a really nice welder. I have the Glitter 811H and also the Glitter 801H and they both are excellent welders. in my opinion much better than the kWeld and more convenience. Just a recommendation. Stick with the copper/nickel sandwich because will create a stronger bond to the cells.
Thanks for the video, just ordered one today. Been thinking about upgrading my kweld for a while, but now I've got a build where I'll need to use 0.3 copper, so it's time!
Very nice, I got the exact same 811 for 400€. Only one thing about copper, it oxydises so corrosion needs to be avoided. Perfect insulation is key. Conformal coating helps
Hey Copper only tarnishes with oxygen. It doesn't go further than that. So once installed and jointed surface corrosion really isn't important. Think copper water pipes, even Copper gutters on my house. They've been there over 50 years!
Many thanks for the video. I have been wanting to purchase a decent spot welder but the only vids I have seen were either by glitter or others who were selling the product. Really great to see an in depth review from someone who actually paid their own money for it! Thanks Richard (AKA Bottlefed)....from my nitrous race car days ;-)
Nice ebike guy good job working with some real power now thats whats up love the videos too am a need a 72v 40a battery for my bike soon before they run me off the road lol
Hello, you have inspired me to get a welder of my own. A few questions if I may. Is making battery packs something that could be a profitable business? Can the welder also weld LiFePo4 batteries?
@@Joshuachess tell me about it I've been buying battery packs to strip but you never no the damage until you charge and build a battery from them some last a while why others don't but everyone I see gets them I found a site and it was 357 for 90 cells but they where grade A but don't trust them to be honest let me no if you find someone
@@E-bikeguy I got mine today, was fast delivery but, i just noticed mines an 801h not a 811h, i was wondering why mine looked different, oh man i hope this thing will be ok

Hi! got myself a 811H and my copper welding pins are melted half-way just after 200welded cells, what am I doing wrong. Ni+cu 0,3 sandwitch to 21700cells. Its too powerfull spitting metal everywhere, ha-ha) tried 25ms setting - nice fat welds but spits metal everywhere - lower than 18-19 not welding throug more than 30 - burns holes instead of welding. figured out will need to buy more spare pins\\\ (glad they give one spare, and also i have one left from 801H spare) but, man, after 801H (which is also a nice welder) i'm getting 1-1,5mm FAT connection, try to pull it - it doesnt leave holes on copper sheet, it rips it and leave flakes of copper on cell terminal 0_0 good sht

i have this but i downgraded the welding pen to sunkko 73b, i lost like 25% of the power i think. like to weld 0.2copper+0.10 pure nickel i have to go as high as 50. but with this downgrade of pen i can work better, one hand holding the plate the other hand with the pen. max copper i sandwiched was 0.3 at 60/65 with nice penetration. ps. i also use pedal.
"Not worry about nickel strip falling apart", if your nickel is falling apart you doing something wrong. And please use at least fishpaper between the P-Groups. Just for the saftey of your customers
I spent 800 on a duel pulse sunstone spot welder new it was like 3 grand and i dont think its as powerful as the glitter. Fuck. Anyone wanna buy a sunstone? Lol

my kweld just died too after 2 years of use. Thanks for the review as I think I really want an 811H now
looks like the Rolls Royce of welder, wow 👍
@patcaza6166 it's awesome
Congratulations on your new welder your good to go now that's so awesome so happy for you buddy.
@garymertens2019 thank you! Yes it's a beast
Very interesting. I can amateur weld but not this kind of spot welding batteries. I can’t wait to see the next video.

My whole Kweld setup was around $500, so I wouldn't consider that too crazy expensive.

Hi there making battery is a good business but it's hard work if you is one person
Great review im going to order this now than the glitter 801a where do you get your cells from trying to find a decent site for cells
@simonbolton2364 I have a supplier that I get my cell directly no middle man
I had the same question Can't find them anywhere Trustworthy. I'mma try local vape store next, that's How desperate I'm getting lol

Wow. This is very cool indeed. Is this capacitor based? Congrats on the purchase. Hope you recoup the loss with new battery builds. All the best.
To my knowledge its Transformer based.
I have a motor question. Can a 1500w 48v motor run a 72v controller after adding statorade can it run 5000w of power?
@LiPowerON yes the fluid will help with cooling
