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

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.
