Northern Tool or Automotive or whatever they are called now has a Hobart and some other brands for between $100 and $150 with the replaceable batteries. They’re supposed to solar charge with the battery for back-up but seems like in a couple years they are shot. Thanks for reminding me though, I left my helmet on the deck to charge in the sunlight and it’s dark now and looks like rain.
