Mini Spot Welder - watch/modify before use it
How to fix the mini spot welder before using it
to avoid its destructions.
The welder has a faults on its project, and it could self damage with weak batteries
UPDATE 20/03/2021
I measured the current pulse of the welder, which is aprox 900A, thats why a voltage drop is easy to happen.

ABOUT NEW VERSION PCB (B11-1k)
Luca Forattininshpuld have fixed all the versions:

I cannot verify because i don t have the second pcb version
ABOUT THIS VIDEO FIX:
The mosfet control circuit does not have a protection, but with a simple mod you can make it safe.
All you need is a 1000uF 16V(or higher) capacitor
The battery voltage should not drop too much if the battery is properly sized and charged.
But you never know, weak connector, discharged battery, low c rate... and you explode your welder
I would modify it before using it
In case you destroy the mosfets like me:
I replace the 5 broken MOS with 4 superpowerfull Infineon MOSFET:
IRL40SC228CT 0,5mOhm 1440A pulsed
