So Santa wants to bring me a new helmet. I have had a solar powered unit for years with no problems. I kinda like not having to deal with them. How often are these batteries taking a crap? I don't weld a ton and would like to put my helmet on and weld without having to go pick up batteries. Is than an advantage to battery style?

If you get a solar rechargeable helmet, don't store it covered up. Just like keeping a car on a trickle charger to maintain the battery, the solar cell should be exposed to light whenever possible to help keep the battery charged up and ready to go.

It is also a good idea to not leave them out in the cold. |
