Exhibitor Press Releases

The Ignis Battery is available in the power category up to 150 A and combines state-of-the-art welding electronics with intelligent battery technology. It is suitable for manual metal arc welding (MMA) as well as for mobile TIG welding—with uncompromising quality. Welding is possible with all types of electrodes— rutile, basic, or CEL.

For professionals who want to work independently

Whether for pipeline construction, outdoor repairs, or assembly work, the Ignis Battery is a compact welding machine that perfectly combines power, mobility, and maximum flexibility. With a weight of just 12 kg (without battery charger) and a compact, robust housing, it is the perfect companion for mobile use. Thanks to the IP23 safety class, the stainless steel filter, and a ground clearance of 3.5 cm, it can withstand the most adverse conditions—from rain to dust, from heat to cold.

Intelligent battery technology—powerful, long-lasting, efficient

In addition to voltage monitoring, an innovative battery management system watches over the charging process and ensures protection against overcharging and deep discharge. The integrated high-performance lithium-ion battery (LiFePO4) with 750 Wh enables welding of up to 31 electrodes (2.5 mm) or up to 30 minutes of TIG welding at 100 A with just one battery charge. This is usually sufficient for the whole assembly operation. If not, the quick-charge function ensures 80% battery power in just 40 minutes and a full charge in 60 minutes.

Simultaneous charging and welding
In hybrid mode, welding and charging from the grid can be carried out simultaneously, which further extends the operating time. The battery’s integrated power reserve, which ensures a stable arc even with fluctuating mains voltage, is a huge benefit. This means that the full output power of 150 A is always available—even with a 120 V grid. 

If the Ignis Battery is used in generator-powered operation, a small 2 kVA generator is sufficient to provide the required welding power and arc quality. This makes transportation to the workplace easier and reduces noise pollution in the working environment.

Sophisticated details for maximum performance

The Ignis Battery impresses with its numerous functions that make welding easier, safer, and more efficient. HotStart and SoftStart ensure optimum ignition properties for rutile, basic, or CEL electrodes. TrackingArc facilitates precise re-ignition of the arc at just 8 A—ideal when changing electrodes or at the end of welding. Anti-stick prevents unwanted sticking of the electrode and saves time and material. If you want to weld faster and still have attractive welds, you should choose MMA Pulse, which is particularly effective for out-of-position welding.

The Ignis Battery also has sophisticated technologies for TIG welding: e.g., TIG Pulse and Comfort Stop, which ensure controlled TIG welding with a perfect end-crater. Maximum compatibility is ensured thanks to the TIG-Multi Connector (TMC), which is a standardized connection for peripheral devices.

Conclusion: The perfect addition to the Fronius portfolio

Together with the Artis TIG welding machine series and the well-known Ignis MMA devices, Fronius now offers a complete range of mobile, reliable, and powerful welding solutions with the Ignis Battery—for all those who want to live out their passion for welding on the move and without restrictions.
