This is a great site. I bought a cheap helmet from Beaulieu Autojumble two years ago.
Sadly I left it in the garage over the winter and I presume the battery did not appreciate the low temperature.
It started off reacting slowly and then failed to darken.
I had read on here that it might be possible to replace the battery. I broke the case open and managed to replace the battery. It is the same as the battery for a Rover Key fob.
Now working again. I only use it for Hobby use so I find it hard to justify a more expensive model.
