OVERVIEW

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.

FAQ

No, the battery is only used to ignite the Slice cutting rod. Once the rod is lit, the exothermic reaction is sustained by the flow of oxygen and the rod material itself, requiring no electrical power.

No, the charging adapter is sold separately. You will need the Arcair 96-076-041 Power Adapter to recharge this battery pack.

Because the battery is only used for a split second to ignite the rod, a fully charged unit can typically provide hundreds of ignitions before needing a recharge.

Yes, this battery ignition source features the standard twist-lock receptacle that is compatible with Arcair Slice torch power cables.

While the case is rugged and designed for industrial environments, it is not fully submersible or waterproof. It should be kept dry and protected from direct heavy rain.

Yes, Slice torches can be ignited using a welding machine set to a low amperage or a standard 12V car battery, but this portable pack offers a convenient, self-contained solution for field use.

The unit provides a 12-volt DC output, which is the standard voltage required for safe and effective ignition of exothermic cutting rods.

The unit contains a rechargeable lead-acid battery. While sealed, the internal battery can typically be replaced by a qualified technician if it eventually fails to hold a charge after years of service.
