Esab Warrior fixed

[moleb]

My Esab Warrior failed after 3 years (battery light). Split the cartridge with a knife and found this:

Battery is CR2450 but with welded tags. Found the ones in pic on e-bay for £10 but only from China so took 3 weeks. Soldered in and working. Couldn't find less than 5 batteries per pack so this lot should last 15yrs...

Solder a couple of wires in and put a battery holder outside the case and you can make the next time a lot easier.
