96076040 - Arcair Slice 12V Portable Battery Ignition Box

Cut Anything, Anywhere, Anytime

When your work takes you off the beaten path, you can't always drag a welding generator with you just to light your torch. The Arcair Slice Battery Ignition Source is the key to unlocking the full "go-anywhere" potential of your Slice exothermic cutting system. Designed for the mobile welder, demolition expert, and field mechanic, this portable battery pack replaces the need for a welding machine connection to ignite your cutting rods. With this unit in your truck, you can hike into a job site, climb a tower, or crawl into a confined space with just your oxygen bottle, torch, and this compact ignition box.

The Slice system is legendary for its ability to cut through virtually any material—mild steel, stainless, aluminum, and even non-ferrous materials like concrete and brick. However, the reaction needs a spark to get started. This battery pack provides a reliable 12-volt DC output specifically calibrated to arc against the striker strip and ignite the rod instantly. Because the Slice process runs on oxygen and the fuel in the rod itself, the battery is only used for that split-second ignition. This means a fully charged pack can last you all day, or even all week, depending on your frequency of relighting.

Durability is key for field equipment, and Arcair has built this unit to survive. The hard shell case protects the battery and wiring from the sparks, slag, and rough handling that come with the territory. The connection point uses the industry-standard twist-lock mechanism, ensuring a secure fit with your existing Slice torch cables—no adapters or jerry-rigging required. It is the perfect companion for the Slice Pack or any utility cutting setup.

Don't let a lack of power hold you back. Whether you are performing emergency repairs on farm equipment, cutting scrap in a remote yard, or working on a rescue mission, the Arcair Slice Battery Ignition Source ensures you are always ready to burn. Remember to pick up the charging adapter (sold separately) to keep your pack topped off and ready for the next emergency call-out. This is the ultimate accessory for the welder who demands total independence from the grid.
