KP4492-1 - Lincoln Electric VIKING CR1025 Replacement Batteries (5-Pack)

Product Overview

The Lincoln Electric KP4492-1 is a package of five (5) CR1025 replacement batteries designed for use with compatible Lincoln Electric VIKING welding helmets. These 3-volt lithium coin cell batteries are essential for powering the electronics within specific Auto-Darkening Filters (ADF) or external control modules found on select helmet models. As a genuine OEM part, these batteries ensure optimal performance, fit, and reliability compared to generic alternatives.

Technical Specifications

Each battery in this pack is a standard CR1025 lithium manganese dioxide cell. They provide a stable 3V output which is critical for the sensitive electronics in welding lens cartridges. The lithium chemistry offers a high energy density and a low self-discharge rate, allowing these batteries to be stored for extended periods without significant power loss. This makes the 5-pack an economical choice for maintenance departments and individual welders alike.

Compatibility and Usage

While many welding helmets utilize the larger CR2450 batteries, the CR1025 is a specific size used in certain VIKING series configurations or remote controls. It is crucial to verify the battery size required by your specific helmet model before purchase. The KP4492-1 ensures that users have the correct form factor for their equipment, preventing potential damage to battery compartments caused by incorrect cell sizes.

Maintenance Recommendations

To maintain the safety and efficiency of your welding protection, it is recommended to check battery levels regularly if your helmet is equipped with a low-battery indicator. Replacing batteries promptly ensures the ADF reacts immediately to the arc, protecting the user's vision. These batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place until use to maximize their service life.
