NexGen EQC Question

I left mine in a dark bag for 8 months or so and the batteries were dead. I don't remember what the voltage was though, sorry. With new batteries, it is as good as new.

Good question. I've had my NexGen EQC for probably a decade and have yet to have to replace batteries, or have it fail to function. I don't use it every day of course.

Checked mine again today, and there was a low battery indicator. I read they had this, but have had this for 4-5 years, and didn't know if this one had it or not. Apparently, it does. But the other day when I fired it up, there was nothing on the screen.

Battery fart.

Have some welding to do to make a light pole for my metal halide yard light, and others. I used the standard Jackson, and I like it, but the autodark is the cat's meow.

I have to agree . My Lovin' Wife got me one for Christmas , and I honestly don't know how I ever welded without one !

Better than I deserve ! Last year , even though she doesn't approve of me riding this time of year , she got me 'lectric motorcycle gloves . I see/hear stories of other women and how the act/are , and I count my blessings . Next August will be 38 years , and we only knew each other for 4 months when we got married . Destiny struck ...

I think my first was a Moody Blues ...

Yup , and some of it I'd just as soon I hadn't .

I tend to replace the batteries in my Nexgen once a year. I always keep a spare set in my welding bag. They are fairly sensitive to low batteries.

Been to THREE WalMarts now, all three were out of the 2450's. Two Walgreen's, same thing. Guess it is a pretty popular battery.
