Abstract
A portable weld stud system is disclosed. An embodiment of the system includes a housing with a power source, which may be four twelve-volt sealed lead-acid batteries with fifty-two amp-hours of capacity. The housing includes a user interface and a set of power terminals that are coupled to the power source via a control module and a control terminal. Leads couple the housing to a weld stud gun and a work surface. A trigger on the weld stud gun allows a user to generate a drawn-arc weld between a weld stud in the weld stud gun and the work surface. The housing may include an active thermal management system and an internal charging system. The housing may further include a recess that may be covered with a removable door and is configured to accept various components such as leads, power cords, weld studs, and/or weld stud guns.
