Replacing the Batteries on a Harbor Freight Welding Helmet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2023
- This is a Chicago Electric Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet from Harbor Freight. Item number 91214. There are two CR2335 batteries that are soldered in. I experimented with soldering an exhausted battery and it works but I think it's bad for the battery and dangerous in that the battery can explode. Why bother soldering in fresh batteries when you would have to replace them in about 5 years?
I found a battery tray that holds two CR2032 batteries in a series. See: www.amazon.com/dp/B07BXDHT4B?...
I replaced the lens assembly in my welding helmet so this lens will be a backup. See: • My Welding Helmet Almo...

You would have killed a good battery like that you got to heat it quickly and solder the wire quickly for this you need a high power solder gun I’ve done it many times with 18650
Watching paint dry while waiting for soldering tip to heat up. 😴
@davidgpo can you please show how to remove the lense from the helmet,thanks
The lens is held in by a long wire spring. You just bend the wire slightly and swing it out of the way of the lens. Then you lift the lens out of the window. I hope this helps.
Why is it that whenever I go to use my welding helmet (which isn't often) the battery is dead?
Why is current being drawn when the helmet is just lying there?
Should I be storing it in the black bag it came in for some reason?
It is very perplexing because these things have no on/off switch.
I'm not getting that problem. It's possible you might have a current drain. I suggest that if your helmet has a solar panel, try leaving it out in the sunlight to absorb some UV rays.
@@davidgpo The solar panel is there to pick up the weld flash and supply the signal voltage to dim the visor. I don't think it is there to recharge a non rechargeable cell.
@@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968 Ahh, good to know. Thanks! I'm going out to retrieve my welding helmets from the front yard! LOL
Where did you bought the battery holder?
