Stupid question but I can seem to figure out how to replace the battery (for auto darkening). The manual says to slide the cover off the battery but it appears the whole unit has to come out of the helmet. I pushed and pried a bit on the tabs and such, but I don't want to break it. Clues???

Thanks for the vid link, Kenny. Unfortunately mine is a little different. The tabs are different and the battery is AAA instead of the coin style.

I need the fancy hood because I'm so bad at striking an arc. :D

Mine has been flaky lately, it will sometimes go dark and stay that way until shut off. I replaced the batteries hoping it would help to no avail. If it was the only helmet in the house I would have taken it apart to see if there's something noticeable like bad solder joints. Hasn't happened yet, just used my son's helmet. My ambition may be less than my arc striking ability....lol.
