Hobart Trek 180 - Battery-powered MIG!
Weld anywhere with this battery-powered welding package!


The Trek® 180 battery-powered wire welder is the first professional system on the market for MIG welding “off the power grid.” No matter where your hobby or job takes you, the Trek® delivers heavy duty weld power to fabricate or repair 24 ga. up to 1/4 in. mild steel in a single pass. Powered by two internal sealed lead-acid batteries, the high-purity energy storage technology enables the Trek® to be charged complete in about 90 minutes and quickly recharged in about 40 minutes. The integrated charging system is powered by standard 115 volt household current and can operate while plugged in or completely cordless. The Trek delivers 180 amps (approx. 10% duty cycle) on 115 volt standard power … a weld output which, until Trek®, has been limited to 230 volt welders. The unit is setup for both self-shielded flux-cored and solid gas-shielded wires from .024 to the .035 diameter.

Comes complete with:

  • Rugged constant-voltage DC welder power source
  • Built-in gas solenoid valve and polarity changeover
  • Ergonomic 10 ft. (3m) H100L4-10 MIG torch
  • Removable power/recharging cord with plug
  • 10 ft. (3 m) work cable with clamp
  • Sample spool of .030 in. (0.8 mm) self-shielded flux cored welding wire
  • Two premium high-performance sealed lead-acid batteries
  • Extra .030 in. (0.8 mm) contact tips
  • Pouch for storage of MIG gun and work lead during transportation
  • Durable built-in wire feeder with quick-change drive rolls
  • Weld set-up and parts information chart

FEATURES:

  • Infinite voltage and wire feed control for precise arc performance
  • Welds 24 gauge up to ¼ inch mild steel, 180 A maximum output
  • Built-in cast aluminum wire feeder with quick-release drive roll lever and quick-change drive roll
  • Built-in contactor eases use and is an excellent safety feature which makes wire electrically "cold" when not welding
  • Easy access to polarity changeover includes storage holes for spare tips
  • Dual groove drive rolls make it easy to switch between .023/.025 in. (0.6 mm) and .030 - .035 in. (0.8 - 0.9 mm) wire
  • Twin 12 V premium high-performance sealed lead-acid batteries, run on batteries or plugged in the wall
  • The only 180 A welder that operates on 115 VAC
  • Welds approximately 100 inches of 1/8 in. mild steel before recharging with extremely fast recharge times (approx. 40 min. on 115 VAC outlet) from its built-in charger
  • Capable of recharging on automotive power inverter (400 continuous watts minimum) using AutoPower technology to detect input power
  • Voltage control delivers consistent arc regardless of battery charge level
  • Tough polymer case protects against extreme environments
  • Unit weighs only 51.9 lb. (23.5 kg) including batteries
  • LED indicators provide basic operation feedback
  • Removable storage bag provides cable management of standard MIG gun, work cable, clamp
