951000202 - Miller Venture 150 S Battery Stick/TIG Welder Kit

Revolutionary Cordless Welding Technology

The Miller Venture 150 S Battery Powered Welder (951000202) represents a significant leap forward in mobile fabrication and maintenance technology. Engineered for professionals who demand reliability in the most inaccessible locations, this machine eliminates the tether of power cords and the bulk of portable generators. At the heart of the system is a high-performance 400Wh lithium-ion battery pack, designed specifically for the high-current demands of welding. This power source drives a sophisticated inverter that delivers a smooth, stable DC arc suitable for critical structural repairs and maintenance applications.

Advanced Arc Performance and Control

Despite its compact footprint, the Venture 150 S does not compromise on welding characteristics. It offers a versatile amperage range of 20-150 A for Stick welding and 10-160 A for TIG applications. The machine incorporates Miller's proprietary Hot Start™ technology, which automatically increases amperage during arc initiation to prevent electrode sticking—a common challenge in field conditions. Additionally, the Lift-Arc™ TIG capability enables precise arc starting without the use of high frequency, reducing the risk of tungsten inclusion and electromagnetic interference. The intelligent battery management system ensures that arc stability is maintained consistently, even as the battery charge depletes.

Operational Efficiency and Duty Cycle

Efficiency is paramount for remote operations. The Venture 150 S boasts an impressive 100% duty cycle at maximum output, allowing for continuous welding without thermal timeouts. When the battery does run low, the included fast charger restores the pack to 95% capacity in under 30 minutes, ensuring that the operator can return to work quickly. For extended projects, the swappable battery design allows users to cycle through multiple packs (additional batteries sold separately) for all-day operation. The unit also features a Low OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) Stick mode, reducing voltage to 12-16V when not welding, which is a critical safety feature for specific job site requirements.

Rugged Construction for Field Use

Weighing in at just 26.5 lbs (12 kg) with the battery installed, the Venture 150 S is designed for ultimate portability. It features an ergonomic shoulder strap and a compact form factor that makes it easy to carry up ladders, into confined spaces, or across large job sites. The casing is IP54-rated, providing substantial protection against dust, debris, and water splashes, ensuring durability in harsh industrial environments. From mechanical contractors to farm and ranch repair, the Venture 150 S provides the power of a shop welder with the freedom of a cordless tool.
