So I've finally ordered a TS100 and this has been suggested as a battery to run it:


I don't want to go any lower than 22.2v as I need to be able to do some heavy duty bits. The bit I have no idea about is a charger for this. Can someone point me in the right direction? I want this to last a while. I've got one of those Maplin temp controlled ones but doing onsite LED work means I need something more portable.
blah blah blah blah blah......

ace, that looks just the ticket. Out of interest, how do links get jacked like that? Is it within the forum or was it put in by my laptop?

I would have assumed the iron has a DC-DC converter built in so it shouldn't matter too much what the input voltage is, you ought to be able to use a 4s pack to run it surely? 
At 12v it should just use twice the current as it would at 24v, for the same heat output. 
If you use LiFePO4 cells, a 4s pack runs over a very similar voltage range to a 12v lead-acid. And if you get a pack that includes a good protection and balance board, or add one to a basic pack, you can charge from a normal car battery charger.

so I’ve just done some more reading up about them, output power is voltage dependent and I think for now I’ll run it off one of my many 18v Makita batteries. I can butcher one of the usb charger heads and give it 18v (40w) which should be enough for a speakon...

I've used the gas soldering irons in the past and whilst they are good in the field, temperature control is always pretty vague so for soldering up LED strips or small components its pretty hit or miss. The TS100 has an accelerometer in it that drops the power and then boost it up to temp when it detects movement. Given that and pretty accurate temp control, I'll report back over the next few uses and let you know how I get on.
