I have actually been looking at the heated ones too. Cant remember which brand but they have a small lithium battery in the wrist then just recharges like a phone. Seems like a decent idea as I usually only need them for 30 odd mins at a time
I know someone who bought a set of the battery powered gloves because, like you, he said "Well I'll only need them for a short ride to work".
Until the time that he needed to go further and the battery ran out, giving him freezing fingers!
I have the Gerbing Heated Gloves. They may be a bit pricey, but they're well worth it :thumbup

Just had a look at them and to be fair they are cheaper than the battery ones I'm looking at Haha but I just don't like the idea of being hooked up to my bike in any way. Not only do I question what happens in an accident but on a far more concerning issue I wonder how much of a twat I'll look when I forgot to unplug myself when I walk away from the bike ?
A rather cheap solution I've found is heated inner gloves (the very thin things) that I could just wear under a normal pair of bike gloves ? they only cost around £30 and run off of aaa batteries (easy to carry spares) then I could spend more on a decent set of goretex gloves they would be useful with or without the heated ones
