Lincoln buzz box as transformer

Hi,
Thanks for the nice responses.
If I go through the trouble of dragging that welder over to the bank, I will not worry about charge control. The big fear would be cooking diodes.
The thing I have learned about charging big banks, is that while they are down, they dictate the voltage.
I would only be using the welder for bulk charging. Let's say, up to 14vdc.
I may yet get that idea in motion. Mostly I mentioned it was to stir the pot, and make everyone realize I am still here.... :)

JW:
I just dug threw my email I thought it was 150amp

150A NEGATIVE STUD MOUNT DIODE 150AMP 800V 150A

I used this diode in a 12volt circuit as transient catch

There should be enough there to get one, heres what I paid

PAID : $40.00 with Paypal

edit

Just one other thing, you can get this same type of diode as positive stud which may help with the heatsink use

Frank S:
 If 1 is not enough to handle the amps then parallel 2 , 3 or a dozen together.my old Hobart 400 amp Diesel welder had 12 of them  mounted on a single 1/4" thick aluminum plate

XeonPony:
I've don that, but it was a gas powered dc welder so I just hooked it up to the batts.

Good cooling and close monitoring of the Xformer I can't see any issues
