Well... If we're going to MacGuyver it, you can just strip the insulation off the ends of the two wires, twist the wires together, and smack the joint with a hammer to create a TC junction.

Just make sure the cap is safely voltage rated and polarity observed for the DC supply when charging. Also, common alligator clips that fit on the banana ends are easily replaceable as welding takes its toll. Please note that this set up will not produce controlled or consistent welds, but with a little practice the welds will soon become quite good. IHTH.
