Re: New Super Capacitor 5v DC Battery Spot Welder with a 12 volt power supply

Now I going to somewhat reverse engineer the mosfet section of this if I can read the part number on the mosfets array because I two 5 volt @ 50 amp switching power supply that I would like to see if it can work with a couple of computer grade capacitors that though might not get very far but you never know

I bought these two 5 volt @ 50 amp switching power supply surplus a couple of years ago because they were just about giving them away with the price they had on them but the company that I bought them from was playing games because they only allowed you to buy one per order per day and the sale only lasted a day but they ran this sale twice a couple of weeks apart so when I saw the second time of course I bought a second one

The plan is to use a couple of buck converters to charge the computer grade capacitors and I saw eBay seller awhile back offering the capacitor boards with out the capacitors but I have to look an see if I can find them again

I have to start using this setup and start welding some battery cells together and make a few battery packs
Ons note I going to take one of these units and put it in one of my old battery welding machines that was electric transformer version and set it up so that I have enough time to get the battery cell in the right place to be welded because holding the tabbing and the welding probes I need three hands which I do not have

I will come back with some pictures of it when I have done this modification and do a write up about how well it works
The comments about the switching power supply that I just recently bought that have issues that I wrote about in another post I going to see if I can possibly use one to power this capacitor discharge battery tabbing welder and set the buck converter to maybe 2 amps the only unknown is how fast can you safely charge this type of capacitors if anyone knows please feel free to give your thoughts or suggestions on this topic
