As for the iron it would would not be EDS but EOS. And it would probably
be a DC offset at the tip. Very interesting question. All things
considered the issues would be the same as with a corded iron. ESD is
generated by friction and triboelectric charging, clothes, shoes,
carpets.

What kind of ESD control do you have with a "cordless" solder iron?

Bob,
Have you looked at WAHL? They have a line of battery powered irons. I
used
one a lot many years ago and thought that it did a decent job. That
being
said, I was not using it on smt boards, and their tip selection was
limited.
However, the tip temperature is probably more controlled than your
butane
unit.
