Auto darkening masks

[kit]

Are these ok to keep in a box or will that run the battery out does anyone know? Thanks.

I have always wondered - mine doesn't get much use but it hangs from a hook by the roof window where it gets sunlight occasionally and seems OK. There was nothing with the guff when I bought it re storage.

I keep mine in a gloomy part of the garage, still seems to work ok after several years. TBH, I'd forgotten about it needing light. I've been more worried about it getting covered in dust and scratched. Couldn't weld without one now, brilliant kit. Bri

Mine is in the box it came in. So far it still works fine,

We leave them out at college, still working fine after 2 years.

I think mine said to store back in its box when not in use

I keep mine in a crash helmet protection bag in the cupboard. If nothing else it stops it getting full of grinder dust!

It's more the self discharge aspect of it for those of us that don't use them regularly.
