OVERVIEW

Reliable Power for Precision Welding Protection

The ESAB 0194008001 Battery is a specialized 3V lithium power source designed specifically to meet the rigorous demands of modern auto-darkening welding filters (ADFs). With a capacity of 560 mAh, this cell provides a significant energy reservoir, ensuring that your welding helmet's active lens technology operates with maximum responsiveness and reliability over extended periods. Unlike standard consumer-grade batteries, this OEM component is verified to deliver a stable voltage curve under load, which is critical for the micro-electronics governing arc detection and liquid crystal shutter switching.

In the context of industrial safety, the power source is a single point of failure that cannot be overlooked. A voltage drop in an ADF circuit can lead to delayed switching times or failure to darken, exposing the operator to harmful UV and IR radiation. This ESAB battery utilizes stable lithium chemistry to maintain potential even in fluctuating temperatures, a common scenario in heavy fabrication environments where operators move between cold storage and high-heat welding zones. The 560 mAh rating indicates a high-density energy storage capability, reducing the frequency of maintenance intervals and downtime associated with battery swaps.

This unit is engineered as a direct replacement for specific ESAB helmet models, ensuring correct physical dimensions for the battery tray. Proper contact pressure is essential for maintaining circuit continuity during the rapid head movements associated with welding tasks. By using the specified 0194008001 part, maintenance personnel ensure compliance with the manufacturer's specifications for the PPE, maintaining the integrity of the safety system. It is an essential stock item for MRO cribs supporting welding operations using ESAB headgear.

FAQ

It is a 3V Lithium coin cell battery with a capacity of 560 mAh, typically a CR2450 form factor used in welding helmets.

Signs include the ADF lens failing to darken when an arc is struck, the lens flickering, or a low-battery indicator LED lighting up on the internal control panel.

No, this is a primary (non-rechargeable) lithium battery. Attempting to recharge it can cause leakage or rupture.

It fits ESAB helmets designed for 3V lithium batteries, such as the Sentinel, Warrior, and Aristo Tech series. Always check your user manual for the specific battery part number.

Lithium coin cells typically have a shelf life of 5 to 10 years if stored in a cool, dry place in their original packaging.

Likely not. While the voltage is the same (3V), this battery has a higher capacity (560 mAh vs ~220 mAh) and likely a different thickness (CR2450 is thicker). Using the wrong size ensures poor contact and reduced runtime.

Lithium batteries should be recycled according to local regulations for electronic waste. Do not dispose of them in regular trash or fire.

Lithium batteries perform better in cold than alkaline, but extreme cold can temporarily reduce voltage. It is best to store your helmet at room temperature when not in use.
