Milwaukee Heated Jacket

Skunkape · May 25, 2013

Maybe someone could use one of these. 12v, so with an adapter and cord you might be in business. Controller built in. Just thinking out loud. I don't need it as I just bought heated gear but might be nice to just have.

Specs in toolup price says "battery not included" Hmm.. how much are the batteries?

"adapter" makes it able to function using the bikes 12volt power.

I have some of those M12 batteries and they are not much in the way of capacity. Maybe 2 amps. So if this jacket can run for hours off of that battery, it dosen't have much in the way of real wattage.

And this is only doing your chest and back, no arms heating element.

Still.. might be fun to play with since I have the batteries already.

Keep in mind it is only 3 zone l chest r chest and back It might be ok for a spring or fall ride or even one of those cool summer nights but I don't think it wioll do much for a really cold day ride.

It's only Xtra Large,
Good idea for Florida though if it's your size.

Forgot to add this link to my last post. Which makes no sense without it.

Can't draw a whole lot if it's pulling through a lighter/accessory outlet. Or if it runs 6 hours on a charge.

Superzuki, as for sizes is comes S through 3XL.

I wasn't suggesting it for replacement for serious winter gear just a cheap alternative for some heat.

If you are looking at tis type of jacket I picked up a ANSAI heated jacket a few weeks ago. Dave1963 showed his to me at Pardeeville Tech after I rode in frozen to the core.
It comes with the battery. So far it works greats....

Well most of the accessory outlets are fused at 10 amps, so your talking 140+ watts. Enough for a Gerbing liner and gloves.

So doing the math.. about 18 watts of power in a M12 battery.
If this can run the jacket on low for 6 hours, it is generating 3 watts of heat, on high, maybe 9 watts.

A typical heated liner for a motorcycle, 80 watts.

But this might come in handy for those that get cold around camp or use it when ya crawl into the sleeping bag.
