PORTABLE BATTERIES FOR 12V HEATED CLOTHING.

Gerbing's offers a variety of heated products for use on your motorcycle, ATV or snowmobile. Our Powersports Products can be powered by the 12 V electrical system of a vehicle. But now they can also be powered by your choice of two different rechargeable 12 V lithium-polymer battery packs, the 128MV and the 128FP.

128MVKT BATTERY

If you want to power your 12 V Gerbing's Heated Powersports (motorcycle) Clothing from a rechargeable portable battery, you'll love our new Gerbing's 128 MV battery.

The 128MV has a 12 V output port, a 7 V output port (for our 7 V CORE Heat Outdoor Products), and even a 5 V USB port for charging or powering selected items like cell phones and MP3 players. The 128MV Battery Kit comes complete with battery, wall charger, and even its own belt pouch for easy portability. And the battery sports its own built-in controller, so you can adjust the heat settings on the 12 V and 7 V output ports.

The 128MV Battery is rechargeable for hundreds and hundreds of cycles. The duration of heat will depend on what product is being powered and at what heat setting.

128FPKT BATTERY $199.95

To power the new line of Gerbing's Hybrid LT Jackets, Gerbing's has developed a new, thin, "FlexPack" battery, designed to slip into the back armor pocket of the LT Jackets. The 128FP FlexPack Battery is flexible and can shape itself to the gentle curve of your back. Its individual cells are wrapped in an abrasion-resistant Kevlar layer, and the long battery lead works with the LT Jacket to make connecting easy.

The 128FP Battery Kit comes complete with FlexPack Battery, wall charger, one remote control, and Gerbing's Intelligent Power Management Control (IPMC). The IPMC works only with the 128FP battery and serves multiple functions.

1. It receives and processes the control signals from the remote controller.
2. It directs power from the battery to the jacket when you're not connected to a bike.
3. And it directs bike power to the jacket when connected to the bike, and simultaneously directs power back to the 128FP battery to recharge it as you ride.

Run times for the 128FP and the 128MV are identical and are listed in the chart above.

The listed duration time for the 128MV and 128FP batteries will power these products with a continuous draw. Remember that battery capacity decreases in very cold weather, especially if the battery is not insulated and is left exposed to the elements. At less than 32 degrees Fahrenheit a battery may only produce 80% of its capacity.

Warning: It is important that you charge your battery regularly and that you maintain at least 25% of your battery power when not in use or left idle. Batteries must only be used with products with an amp rating less than the maximum capacity output rating for the battery. In the case of Gerbing's 128MV and 128FP batteries, that would be a maximum discharge rate of 8amps. Lithium-polymer battery packs can be recharged at state of discharge, without memory effect.

Portable Batteries for Heated Clothing Gerbing's offers a variety of heated products designed to be operated by different power sources. Some can be powered by the 12 V electrical system of a vehicle or by a 12 V battery pack while others are designed to be powered specifically by a 7 V battery pack. All of Gerbing's battery packs are rechargeable for over 500 cycles. The number of amps the battery provides per hour measures the capacity of a battery. The duration of heat per product will depend on the size and type of battery, or batteries, and what product is being powered.

The listed duration time for each battery will power these products with a continuous draw. The use of either a Temp-Controller, or an on/off switch, regulates the heat output, which greatly reduces the overall power draw and extends battery use per charge. Our lithium battery packs come with a built-in temperature control that allows you to adjust the heat output level and increase your battery life per charge.
