Gerbing 7V Battery Heated Gear

Gerbing 7V Buying Guide

The 7V system is built around one idea: one rechargeable battery standard that powers everything. That means a spare bought for your jacket also runs your gloves or socks, and you can build a head-to-toe heated setup over time without juggling incompatible power. Most garments run two to six hours per charge depending on the heat setting, and dropping from high to medium after you warm up dramatically extends that.

Build From the Core Out

Because the batteries are interchangeable, the smart way to build a 7V kit is to start at the core and work outward. A heated vest or heated jacket warms the torso, which is the highest-impact place to add heat — warm the core and your body sends more blood to the hands and feet on its own. From there add heated gloves and heated socks for the extremities that go cold first.

Keep Spare Power On Hand

The single most common regret with any battery heated gear is running out of charge before the day is over. A second set of 7V batteries swaps in seconds and effectively doubles your time outdoors. Store lithium batteries around half-charged when they'll sit for a while, and top them off the night before a cold outing rather than leaving them empty for months.

Riders Should Look at 12V

If your main use is motorcycle riding, the wired 12V motorcycle line runs off the bike for unlimited runtime and higher heat, so it never needs recharging mid-ride. The 7V line is the better choice for everything off the bike.
