OVERVIEW

Get Your Slice Pack Firing Again

There is nothing more frustrating than hauling your Arcair Slice pack out to a job site, setting up your oxygen, and pulling the trigger only to find the battery is dead. The Arcair 96-076-018 Battery Assembly is the fix you need to get your Slice ignition system back up and running. Designed specifically for Slice kits that come in the hard plastic carrying case, this battery assembly drops right in and connects easily, replacing your old, worn-out power source.

The Slice system works on a simple but critical principle: a 12-volt battery sends a surge of electricity through the striker to spark the rod and start the oxygen-fuel reaction. Without a healthy battery, you are stuck trying to light the rod with a welding machine or an external 12V source, which defeats the purpose of a portable pack. This genuine Arcair replacement restores that self-contained convenience, giving you the freedom to cut anywhere, anytime, without hunting for jumper cables.

Don't rely on rigged-up solutions for your safety equipment. This assembly is built to handle the vibration and rough handling that comes with being in a tool case on the back of a truck. It fits securely in the designated battery compartment of the plastic case, ensuring the terminals don't short out against other tools or parts. Swap it out today and ensure your Slice torch is ready for the next heavy-duty cutting job.

Installation and Use

Installing the 96-076-018 is straightforward. Simply open your Slice plastic case, locate the battery compartment, disconnect the old unit, and slot this new assembly in place. It is designed to match the factory connections, so no wire stripping or crimping is usually required. Once installed, test the striker plate to ensure a strong spark (always wear your shade 5 glasses and safety gear when testing).
