My New Clever Soldering Station 

Kampfkraft

can we have links about your dubbing music? love it... 🤩

Yes! That is true :)

We will see. But a long time I guess

Those USB soldering irons draw about 2 amps, so depending on your battery size, 1-3 hours would be about expected.

@@ADBBuild Doesn't that very much depend on what you're soldering? If your workpiece has a lot of heat capacity, the iron will have to work much harder to keep the temperature stable.

@@SpaceMarshalGyorni I haven't used one of these irons, so I can say for sure, but I'd bet it is on all the time unless maybe it was sitting for a while. It probably doesn't even have the ability to "throttle" the power and is just constantly on like basic plug-in irons. So in your example, since the iron is always at the max it can output, it would just get colder, not "work harder" as you are saying.

​@@ADBBuild It really depends how much she stepped up the voltage. It looks like a TS100, and you are close in your guess - it draws about 2.7amps. This iron also works from 12 - 24v, the higher the voltage the better the overall wattage/power/heat delivery. If she stepped it up to 24v then it would be pulling over 3.6amps from the battery (especially after considering power conversion efficiency). Not that this all matters that much, as the iron auto sleeps and you would still be looking at around an hour (assuming this is a Festool 18v 4Ah battery) which is quite a lot for most soldering projects.

The soldering iron has a voltage cut off feature built in which can be set in the menu.

@@eternity1243 Good to know! I have the PINECIL, so I probably should have known that, but I've mostly used it with a USB wall adapter, so I wouldn't have paid much attention to that setting.

Miracles these are not when you consider that workshop is alive and participating

Sure, and the cut on the steel beam was nice and shiny. This piece was there for about ten minutes after being cut to measure for this project...

@@texfax not true, i grew up in a workshop of this size, variety and efficiency. This stuff happens all the time

@@petarjovicic3311 Sure! All the pieces of steel beam I store in an open trailer stay shiny on the side that was cut, while the rest of the steel scrap underneath gets nice and rusty. That's how stuff works.

@@texfax not to mention everything just so happens to be 100% perfect size when grabbing it and "trying" it lolol cheeky. Still a rad station but a bit silly to think they came together organically like that

LET SOLDER COOL

The solder station makes a great "let glue dry" weight.
