<p>A welding-type power supply includes a battery, which may be removable, a battery charger connected to the battery, a weld converter connected to the battery and having a welding-type power output, and a controller connected to a control input of the weld converter and having a weld power control module. The controller may have an ac auxiliary control module for controlling an auxiliary output of the power supply. The controller may include a battery charging control module, and may have one or more charging schedules, and/or data for stored charge, thermal information, expected life of the battery, maximum amp-hour charge for the battery, maximum charging current and/or feedback. The battery charging schedules may include at least 3 phases, such as a phase of increasing voltage and a phase of decreasing current, a substantially constant power phase. A generator may provide power to the battery, charger, and/or the weld.</p> |
