Welding Helmets

a few years is 8 right? since that's what one of mine is. A late 2010 as a gift from the wife (I didn't tell her I bought a new miller helmet and every time she's out near the garage I have to use the HF one) or a friend uses it when hecomes over to watch me weld something of his,which seems to happen a lot.

I have two of them, a harbor freight and a cheap Lowe’s Lincoln. The batteries lasted about 3 years in both of them. Pretty frustrating as I did not understand that when I bought them. I actually sawed them open and replaced the batteries, so they are back in service. My son & I are hobby welders, so they don’t get used regularly. We may use them a lot for a project, but then they may sit for weeks / months.
