Nice work. I work for an industrial battery company out of Nashville TN. I use a small torch setup and have a carbon rod setup for a backup. We just use a chain with the forklift to pull the batteries out and also use it to pull the cell.
Before the crane that's how I'd been doing cells, using a forklift with that same vice grip looking tool. I recently posted another video doing a cell/post repair and wish I did it with the torch instead of the arc. If you get a chance, check it out. Thanks for the watch!
Great tutorial! I need to replace cells in our DC Solar Trailer and you definitely encouraged me! Thank you! Where can I purchase a stinger and rods - + lead from?
Thank you! They are carbon arc rods. The stinger is just a normal stick welding stinger and some welding cable wire. I believe this is1/0 or 2/0 cable. Thanks for the watch and comment!
Approx 6v is enough to get it done and not risk blowing out the side of the cell interconnector. If they are really thin connectors I'll wrap a wet towel around the edge to prevent that from happening
Depends on how you like to measure. I.D. of the bit is 11/16ths or .6875 or 18mm O.D. of the bit is 15/16 or .9375 or 24mm. Thanks for the watch and the comment!!

Love the irony that you need a forklift to service a forklift…
Haha me too.
Wow that's a big battery
How much voltage do you use

What is the size of that crown drill bit for removing the contact rails?
