In a recent evaluation featured in FARM SHOW’s Fall 2024 issue (Vol. 47, No. 6), the ESAB Renegade VOLT ES 200i cordless battery-powered welder was put through its paces by experienced fabricators Aaron and Gary Denstad. With over 80 years of combined welding expertise, their feedback sheds light on the real-world performance of this innovative welding system.
When ESAB offered the Renegade VOLT ES 200i for review, FARM SHOW enlisted the help of Aaron and Gary Denstad, renowned fabricators with extensive experience. Initially skeptical about a battery-powered welder, Aaron was pleasantly surprised by the Renegade VOLT’s performance. “I was a bit doubtful at first, but it turned out to be a remarkably powerful unit,” he said. The collaboration between ESAB and DEWALT, known for their robust tools, added credibility to the Renegade VOLT’s performance.
Gary Denstad emphasized the importance of getting acquainted with the Renegade VOLT’s advanced features. “Study the manual carefully to avoid frustration,” he advised. The welder’s sophisticated electronics and user interface, while more complex than traditional welders, offer precise control over settings and electrode selection, which can be particularly beneficial for less experienced welders.
Aaron highlighted the Renegade VOLT’s ability to adjust settings for various electrodes and materials, enhancing its usability. “It’s a great tool for building confidence and refining your technique,” he noted.
The Denstads tested the Renegade VOLT with different electrodes, including 7018, and were impressed with the results. The welder performed well, producing strong welds even on 1/4-inch steel. While it might not handle thicker materials as easily, it is a reliable option for many welding tasks.
Battery life was another positive aspect. “After about 20 minutes of welding, the batteries still had 25 percent charge remaining,” Aaron reported. This makes the Renegade VOLT a practical choice for field repairs. However, having a second set of batteries is advisable for extended use.
The Renegade VOLT’s ability to plug into a wall outlet was appreciated, though the Denstads suggested a design improvement. “The power cord gets in the way when using the battery power,” Aaron pointed out. A detachable power cord would enhance the welder’s usability.
In conclusion, the Renegade VOLT ES 200i proved to be a valuable addition to any workshop. “It’s a solid choice if you’re looking to replace an older stick welder or need a versatile dual-purpose machine,” Aaron said.
