High-bread mode 😆. Awesome video and much more in depth and informative than other videos that are basically fronious commercials. Thank you for the video.
TTX in Atlanta uses these accupockets on Csx equipment where I work. They have a few of them mounted on golf carts for the quick weld repairs on trains. That’s how I come across fronius welders. They wouldn’t let me play with it though
I was the first person to introduce the accupocket to the Union Pacific Railroad just before I retired. All I got for that was a nice pat on the back LOL!
Hi so I have the same exact model Fronius. I need a tig torch can you help steer me in the right direction for the best torch to use? Also do I have to use the Fronius brand one or can I go with another branded torch?
Does your machine have a gas port on the back ? If not, you can use any 25 mm dinze TIG torch with a gas valve. You will run the gas line to the bottle
Another great video and demonstration. I wish that I had the time and money to help you with them. Ask Fronius for a couple hundred bucks for a Mic and recorder. You do enough for them. Have a great day.
Chris excellent video, horrible audio. You should go back and re-baseline the audio on this video. The first part is normal and the part where you are talking is super low. Just a suggestion.

gord johnson New batteries are about a 1/3 of the cost of a machine. I sent you a link of an online dealer canadaweldingsupply.ca/collections/stick-welders-smaw/products/fronius-accupocket-150-battery-powered-stick-welding-machine
If you had a stick/tig version you can use a standard 25mm tig rig with an external gas line. The tig version has a gas solenoid and it comes with Fronius style consumables

I appreciate it ! Thanks for watching
Yes I own one for over 3 years now and still going strong! BTW I bought it used from Fronius of Indiana.
Roy Koch Nice 👊
Are you still liking it after these years of use?
How much extension cord can this be run off of? Ive heard 300ft off of a 20amp out let at 140amps? Is this true
It’s roughly around 200-250 ft without tripping . The Transpocket is 315 ft on 110 v

S4v4g3 86 That’s awesome! I’ve seen a ton of these machines on railroad maintenance sites
I was the first person to introduce the accupocket to the Union Pacific Railroad just before I retired. All I got for that was a nice pat on the back LOL!
Roy Koch Nice. Did you work for Red Ball?
Roy Koch I bet it wasn’t that nice of a pat either
Thanks very interesting , looks like it would be grate for a remote farm with only generator power
Simon Crooks Yes, this combo would be great or with an inverter. Fronius does have a 110v stick welder that only needs 2,400 watts
Great video! I wonder how this compares to the Micorstick one, when I looked the Fronius is 3k and the micorstick only 2k.
Thanks for watching. I haven’t seen the microstick. I’ll take a look at it today
Pretty dang cool!
Josh Fox Yeah buddy 👊
Can you use the battery on a 240v Transteel 2200?
No.. The AP 150 doesn’t offer a port for external power

@@chris_b_liven no there isn’t any gas port in the back. Just the charge port, but thank you! I appreciate the information!!

Good place to start the mic/recorder search: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/products/Portable-Digital-Recorders/ci/14934/N/3992462091?sort=PRICE_LOW_TO_HIGH
Thanks Kevin! I’ll put the mic and recorder on the Fronius list. Thanks for watching
I'm REALLY curious what the puff of smoke at 6:43 is.
I looked back at it and saw it …. Maybe a ghost 👻
Chris excellent video, horrible audio. You should go back and re-baseline the audio on this video. The first part is normal and the part where you are talking is super low. Just a suggestion.
Thanks!! If only I could find a way to to adjust the volume. It was a new mic and I filmed it all without sound checking. Bad idea 👎
How many hours the battery last Sir
The batteries don’t last hours … It can weld 14-16 3/32 rods in a single charge
@milkycereal83 honestly that's completely bad ass! Love the technology in fronius lineup!
Josh Fox heck yeah
Thank you for the informative video. How much💰💰
purple935 Thanks for watching! Check out the pricing here shopweldingsupplies.com/products/fronius-accupocket-battery-powered-150-stick-welding-machine
Any idea life expectancy of the battery’s are?
You will get about 1400 cycles before you start to see any deterioration of the battery
I have a Yamaha 2800k Inverter generator. Could I run the transpocket 180 off of it? I’ve narrowed it down to these two welders. Thanks Chris.
@@flyhigh8060 You can probably run 110v no issues with 3/32 but I wouldn’t try to push much further
@@chris_b_liven Thank you!
How much does it cost to get machine loaded with new batteries ? Who does it in Canada ?

What mechanism does it use to regulate amps?
From the batteries ?
@@chris_b_liven Into the circuit. It can't use a transformer like an AC welder. Or does it have a massive DC to AC inverter?
How to buy this item
Iam from india
Hi sir namaste I am India this machine price one more tell me
I’m not sure on pricing in India 🇮🇳 but Fronius does have locations
What's the price?
It depends on which country with exchange rates. In US it’s around $3,300
Just had my shop buy one of these machine had the charger plugged in for hole day was wondering why it wasn’t charged battery in machine!🤔lol
Dave, so you bought a new machine and it won’t charge ?
@@chris_b_liven No I thought the charger was battery,the battery is in machine!
@@daver2214 😀 Now it makes sense
@@chris_b_liven great little machine!
Which consumables fit the tig torches? Like 17 series or?
If you had a stick/tig version you can use a standard 25mm tig rig with an external gas line. The tig version has a gas solenoid and it comes with Fronius style consumables
MilkyCereal83 I have the transtig 210. I was interested in a stubby lens kit and not sure which stubby lens kit would work
The TT210 is WP17 style
price sir
It depends on where your from but $3,000 USD
philippines sir
You gotta stop dude. I only have so much money. Lol. I’m actually thinking of trading my 2200 for a transpocket 180 since I mainly stick weld at work
S4v4g3 86 If you always have access to power the Transpocket 180 is perfect 👌 I’ll send you an email on Monday regarding my TP 180 in the garage 💯
MilkyCereal83 10-4
MilkyCereal83 didn’t forget about me did ya
Cant really hear what you say buddy...
Yup. I bought a new mic and i noticed the issue when all the filming was done :( I plan to make another one soon - Thanks for watching
Can't hear you bro
can't hear you
I can barely 👂 you!
Herbert Herbo Moore It was a new mic and my volume was way too low. Next time will be better
gave up due to the audio,
Understand. I bought a new mic and had the settings way too low during filming
Way to much $$ nice welder just to high price.
If you have a need for one then it’s not so bad but for the garage definitely not
Cost of machines ?

Will it weld Aluminium I went to the link this welder cost over 5000dollars a bit pricey for me
