Sorry for being misunderstood.
I am asking - why buy Kweld instead of the cheaper alternatives?
I did my research and it appeared that lots of people that make quality battery packs use the Keen products and show that the quality of the welds are consistent.
Personally I have a philosophy when it comes to buying tools. Spend the $ upfront and get quality results even during the learning phase.
If Iâm finished with the tool and wonât use it again I can usually sell it for almost what I paid for it.
Others might feel differently.

Because Kweld works well and gives you consistent results. Good welds are crucial for a reliable battery. Personally, I wouldnât want to use a crapy ali welder for expensive quality cels.

Thatâs why I use an expensive welding machine from Ali - Glitter 801H

WOW, that is expensive, x3 of Kweld.
Are you doing something special with it - like thick nickel ?
Or you enjoy the pedal?
Lithium Phosphate cells come with a boltâŚ
Nice. Power supply, cap bank and âwelderâ all in one.
Although the Keen product line is nice gear there is assembly required and the end result of three âmodulesâ connected together is a bit ungainly.
Can you do rapid - in succession welds or do you have pause occasionally to let the bank âcatch upâ?
I donât know why you think the 801D is three times MORE expensive than the Kweld- Kcap and appropriate power source is. Other way around from what I can tell.
I weld pure nickel 0.2, without pauses.
In the near future I want to try nickel-aluminum (NMC packages).
