do any foccers use battery powered heated gloves during winter or have you tried them.
Was thinking of purchasing some but wanted a few opinions before I spent my hard earned
-
If you are looking at the one's at Maplin, they are crap. The batteries don't last five minutes.
The vastly more expensive one's are apparently quite good but you can get 'wired' heated gloves that work great, I recommend Gerbing gloves - I think they do battery one's or at least battery packs but I can't be sure.

Got a pair of Weiss ones a couple of years ago. As stated above the batteries only lasted about 18 months (about 500 charges) and getting caught in a monsoon on the motorway with my gloves on the outside refilled with the left one shorting out and never working again.
I'm going Santa brings me some weird ones this year.
Oh BTW, when they worked the batteries only lasted for 2 hours as well.

I fancy the idea myself but as I already have some winter gloves im looking for some thin powered inner gloves 2 hours would do me for a quick winter blat (they wont get wet )

Yeh but will need to move the battery pack

Gerbing do make a pair of heated liners but not battery powered.Being a liner they're not waterproof and are a touch short if £80. Gerbing seem to be the most reliable and troublefree manufacturer of heated gloves/clothing. Pity it's so expensive,but I suppose "get what you pay for" springs to mind.

RST make some battery heated gloves.Three heat settings .
last about 4 hours on lowest and about 2 hours on max.
Two years ago they were £150. spare batteries are about
£25 a pair.I find them useful when deicing the car and other
outside winter activities as well as on the bike
The batteries do need to be kept charged when not in use
during the summer. I did not do this the first year and when
winter arrived one battery would not charge

Get a set of heated grips, they're one of the greatest invention ever for a bike.
I stopped for a fuel top up yesterday and within 2 minutes of riding off i knew something was wrong, as i'd forgotten to turn them back on.
The highest setting on my ones will burn your hands through padded leather gloves in normal weather, but in mega cold weather they still get toasty even with freezing cold handle bars.
I would never have a bike without them now, and seriously don't know why they don't come fitted as standard.
Brilliant in rainy weather as well. :thumbup

I find they warm my palms but the ends of my fingers still stay very cold! Heated gloves connected to the bike are by far the best option in my opinion but its a faf connecting them up. A long run always my heated gloves (and waistcoat and socks)

If the batteries are lithium polymer then you should not store them fully charged as this can ruin the battery too.
Bet they don’t tell you that when you buy the gloves though.

The Dr.Bike heated grips certainly do the job.Had them on my Triumph until this year when I changed the handlebars resulting in them getting ruined during removal.I've now got the Oxford sports heated grips only because they were on offer and only just over a tenner more than the Dr.Bike. However heated gloves are far superior to heated grips if any distance is to be travelled to make the faff of plugging yourself in, worth it.

They are the exact ones i’ve got on my bike right now, and although they seem cheap they are by far the hottest set i’ve ever had on a bike before, and i’ve had a few.

I’ve always wanted some simple hand guards on my bike just to take the direct wind off my fingers, but there’s no way they’d ever fit on my bike, there’s simply zero room for any with the fairing in place.

Guards and heated grips have been my choice for years but as said the Fazer won't take guards and allow full lock. Sod muffs.....

Gerbing seem to be the most reliable and troublefree manufacturer of heated gloves/clothing. Pity it's so expensive,but I suppose "get what you pay for" springs to mind.
I've been using their XR12 gloves for about 5 years. Reliable? -ish. I've been through a few pairs - electrical connection issues, cutting out etc. BUT Gerbing's offer a lifetime warranty on the electric side, no questions, they turned them around in couple of days. Each new pair has been getting better, design improved and lasting longer though. Current pair is first to do two winters and holding up well this winter too, so fingers crossed. Do any of the other manufactures offer a lifetime warranty? I mean seriously at this rate I'll never be buying winter gloves again, as electrics pack up long before the wear out!
I just plug them into bike; cable tied controller to jacket, threaded cabling down sleeves etc. Works fine, only about 30 seconds extra faff to plug stuff in. They do however have a pocket on gauntlet to accommodate a battery pack. About an extra £80-90 last time I checked though.

Been looking into this a little more and came across home made heated inner gloves using something called kanthal wire but they started showing graphs and talking about ohlms law and stuff and the possibility of the battery melting.
Can anyone with electronics expertise help me build some, the wire is in different gauges and my plan is to use 2500 rechargeable battery's 2 for each glove.
I only need enough power to heat the second half of 8 fingers and only for 1 or max 2 hours and only on the backs of the fingers.
Heated grips just wont do it for me as its only the fingers than get cold due to sh1t circulation, my winter gloves are good but after about 1/2 hour of riding the fingers start to get cold, my winter riding is a quick 1- 1 1/2 hour blast or until my fingers are too cold. so I only need to add extra heat for about 1 hour.
I was out for about 3 hours yesterday in one of the coldest days of the autumn/winter so far but I was only pootling around from shop to shop in traffic and I was fine but that is not what I usually do when I am out and the main cold factor is wind chill which is why I am thinking of just heating the back of the fingers.
I have looked into hand guards but they just wont fit.

Word of caution, i’ve bought a pair of gloves from a bike show many years ago and they had a thinsulate inner glove in them.
Problem i found was that the inner glove moved inside the outer glove on the throttle hand, so i found myself really having to grip the throttle to stop this happening which eventually became a nuisance and hard work.
You don’t realise that a lot of throttle work is done with just the palm of the hand.
I was lucky though to even get to try them, as when we got home my girlfrinds dog decided to chew the wrist part of one of them whilst hiding behind the couch.
I was not impressed.

Yes the inner glove movement issue did cross my mind. I have even thought of directly attached to my hands Goa'uld style.
But what were you doing hiding behind the couch.

The procedure for defining the design for home-made heated gloves is fairly straight-forward, from the electrical point of view. Of course, the physical construction is another matter. :)
But it is advisable to use a battery control circuit (BCC) (available on eBay for example)
The BCC has two functions:
(1) Limit the maximum current that the battery will supply in case of a short circuit
(2) Disconnect the battery when the battery terminal voltage drops to a certain level due to discharge: a lithium battery may get damaged if the terminal voltage drops below a specified voltage.
Just a few points:
(1) There are a load of rip-off batteries around, so only buy main-brand batteries (Sanyo, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, etc) from a reliable source.
(2) You say that you are going for 2,500 mA/H batteries, but 3,500 mA/H batteries are available at a reasonable price. This will heat your gloves for a proportionally longer period.
(3) The capacity of a battery is much lower at low temperatures, so if you can house the batteries in a warm area of your bike (25 deg C is is ideal) that would be an advantage, although when a battery provides power it self-heats so that will help
(4) The charger has a big impact on battery life and battery performance, so get a good smart charger and one that charges the batteries individually. As you are planning to have 4 batteries a charger with four individual charging ports is advisable.
This is just some opening info for you to consider. If you wish to go any further, maybe open a new thread.

I had in mind Panasonic enaloope which is why I was saying 2500s and I already have NiMh chargers without having to buy lithium kit. I have a Maha charger with independent bays. Was thinking of running the wire to an inside pocket
-
Ah, got it. What physical size case are your batteries (AA)?
-
Yep AA, and thinking of 2 per glove - even if that would only give 1/2 hour of heat would be ok as it give me another 1/2 riding
-
Got a pair of RST ones with 20% off saving 38 quid from j and S in doncaster, cant wait to try them out over xmas :lol, good for 2 hrs on high setting and 4 hrs on low, also medium setting available will update what I think of them. just hoping for a few days where roads will be dry enough

OK. With two Eneloop pro 2,500mA/H batteries in series per glove, you would get approx 1v*2= 2V average per glove and, say, with an average current of 2A (2,000mA), that would give you a duration of around 30 minutes and 2V*2A= 4W of average heating per glove.
To get this, the resistance of the heating wire in each glove should be 2V/2A= 1 Ohm.
Attached is the data sheet for an Eneloop pro 2,500mA/h NMH AA battery:

Thanks for all that.
would 4W be a good temp and To get this, the resistance of the heating wire in each glove should be 2V/2A= 1 Ohm.
But would the wire length also be a factor and if I have it going up my sleeve to an inside pocket then that will also be heating which I do not need, so would that section just be a normal wire with very little resistance so it does not heat up.
-
Thanks for all that.
No probs :)
would 4W be a good temp
I am no expert in MC heated gloves, but as far as I know, 8W minimum each glove would be better. 2A is already hitting the AA batteries pretty hard, so it would not be realistic to lower the heating element resistance (and increase the current drain and thus the power). Four AA batteries in series for each glove would give 4V which, with a 2 Ohm glove heating element, would generate 8W for each glove.
But would the wire length also be a factor and if I have it going up my sleeve to an inside pocket then that will also be heating which I do not need, so would that section just be a normal wire with very little resistance so it does not heat up.
Quite right: all conductors (wire, connectors, switches, battery holder contacts, etc) between the batteries and heating element in the gloves must be sufficiently substantial to ensure that only an acceptable amount of power is lost. A 10% power loss should be acceptable, so the total resistance of all conductors, in this case, should not exceed 0.1 Ohms (with a 1 Ohm heating element). With care, this should be achievable.

My issue is that I do have some very good expensive gloves that are both warm and have protection, Racer Titian these in the picture. But because of crap circulation in the fingers they get cold, my hands - per-say do not get cold neither do my thumbs, so that is why I was thinking of inner glove and only to heat the fingers.

The Racer Titan gloves look good. The electrical power just to heat your fingers may be less than to heat your whole hand, especially with an already well insulated glove.
I didn't explain fully in the link to the eBay gloves (and they were only an example and may not be the optimum choice): I meant to say that you could probably use the electronics (batteries, charger, etc) maybe even unravel the heating element, for your own design heated glove liner, especially in view of the low cost. Of course, Dudeofrude's suggestion of a ready-made inner heating glove is the way, unless you are keen on some experimentation and a custom approach.

Of course, Dudefrude's suggestion of a ready-made inner heating glove is the way, unless you are keen on some experimentation and a custom approach.
Yes that is a good idea for that price no trial and error involved might cost me more than that for the parts, I wonder even if those gloves are actually made as an inner and then its sewn inside.
