Couple of batteries and a nickle would make for a pretty hard time welding. But it could be done.... by MacGyver that is... 
Realistically though you could weld with a few batteries ran in a series to attain between 20-25 volts and 130 to 180 amps (pending rod type and size), however, a setup like this wouldnt last very long before the juice runs out.

HEY YOU`R ALL RIGHT-THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT - JUMPERCABLES & COATHANGER FOR ROD !

IT DOES WORK - YEARS AGO WHEN I DIDNT HAVE A WELDER OR AXCESS TO ONE I USED TWO 12V BATTRIES AND JUMPER CABLES AND CUT OFF PICES OF COAT HANGER
IT DOES WORKITS KIND OF (HEY CINCY HOLD MY BEER FOR ME WILL YA _GOT TO DO SOME WELDING)

FiverBob is not a big fan of this stuff, so he brings in his almond mocha latte hazlenut cinabon chocolate swirl... (you get the picture) We start calling it foo foo coffee, and our friendly (if you have food) janitor named it Ph00. (there's the story behind that)
Hope that helps out a little. Welcome to the club.

Thought I heard my name.
Ummmmm, what do I smell? Almond mocha latte hazlenut cinabon chocolate swirl FOO FOO.
YEH, too good to be true. Thank you thank you whoever put this stuff on - - that you Mad???? Good man - - your wife is wrong. 
More rain today - - got soaked out washing the fiver in the rain. DUH Came in and wife says "oh boy, you don't have to wash it now." Now how does the dirt get off and how did it get on their in the first place if rain will wash it off? Oh well, she sure does a great job on washing the dishes -- and clothes - - and my mouth out when I get nasty.
OK, grabbing a refill and get out of here. Hmmm, maybe swipe the whole pot??? Naw, I will share - - see how nice I am.

Sounds like we'll get along fine... Looks like I'm also gonna have to start brewing more sweet tea now! Blake, I read what you posted about your job, some like a good job to have and very interesting.
Evening DTR, got home today after work and found my brother here washing his truck. Not only did he help himself to my supplies he also helped himself to my beer in the fridge and the beer I brought home after work! I did help myself to some too, we sat and BSed for a while and had a little beer. Looks like he's going to be moving to Indy soon to go back to school and get a better job since he got laidoff a few weeks ago. Washed my truck after he left. Gonna finish it up here pretty soon and sit and drink some beer while i mess around in the garage. GF is coming over later, she took her mom out this afternoon to do some shopping. It's her first time to the shopping since she had her stoke a month ago. She's doing good, recovery is slow but she is getting better everyday.

An understatement...

I'm not sure that I'd drink anything after claude... the way he was drooling while he was turning donuts in my yard...
Tell the wife happy birthday, and happy anniversary to the both of you...
Mornin, DTR. Uggh... I think I hurt my poor little self in the gym last night doing shoulder presses... feels like my right shoulder blade is being pulled back... burns. We'll see if a run doesn't make it feel better. Ain't got much planned today... going to clean the room and my gear up, study for a test, and go to the gym later. Chest and tri's today.
See ya'll in a bit.

Huh, sounds alot like mine..
You got a point.. Then again I've had worse backwash..
Be careful with those inclined shoulder presses.. Alot of people dont do them correctly and hurt themselves more than helping.. Not saying you dont know how.. Just saying

I was using a machine, I know what I did, I'm a retard... I was on my last rep, and couldn't get it all the way up, and shoved really hard, arching my back a little, and my shoulder blade popped out a little... I got it up, tho...
I just got back from a 'little' run, it feels a little better now. Bout to go get some chow...

What a NOOB! 
Good welders can fix anything. The rest are either pipeliners or inspectors. Welcome to the breakroom! 
Who you calling 'good'?
Yeah, most of YOUR friends are ruminants!
Sorry I didn't get in here this morning to start the coffee and give you your history. Left at 0400 to get into Bahston by 6.
I'll be back at it tomorrow tho!
