Ryobi RYi1802B6 power station parallel welder test

With 2 Ryobi 1.6kVA power stations in parallel, a Harbor Freight Titanium Stick 225 inverter welder welds at ~60A reliably. This means welding with 1/16in and 5/64in 7014 and 7018 rods is possible in addition to the 1/16in 6013 rods that can be used at 30A to 40A with a single Ryobi power station.

Awesome test. Thanks for proving it works!

Thank for this. I have been having issues with bigger tools not so much welding... I only have a small tig and that trips the power station. Now i just have to get another power station.

I have the 40v and the 18v version and i have the same trouble. It only shows wattage being pulled from the 40v

how come you use these instead of a small inverter generator?,

I can make fuel for these. I don't have the capacity to make liquid fuels yet.
