Battery & Garment Care

Machine washable: most 7V garments (jackets, vests, base layers, hoodies, socks).

Hand wash only: 7V heated gloves, 3.7V heated insoles, all 12V items, and cooling vests.

Never machine wash: batteries, chargers, and accessories — remove these before washing any garment and wipe them clean by hand only.

For machine-washable 7V garments, remove the battery first, close all zippers, and use a gentle/delicate cold cycle. When in doubt, hand wash — it's always safe.

Remove the battery and any detachable electronics. Tuck the plugs into their zippered pockets and close all zippers. Check every pocket for items you may have left behind and remove them.

Do not iron. Do not put in a dryer. Do not use a hair dryer or heat gun.

1. Fill a clean sink or large basin with lukewarm or cold water.
2. Add a few drops of mild detergent (like Woolite); follow the directions on the bottle for best results.
3. Gently swirl the clothing for a minute or two, just enough to soap it up.
4. Drain and rinse thoroughly with clean tap water until no suds remain.
5. Gently squeeze out the water — do not wring or twist.
6. Lay flat between towels to soak up as much water as possible; the more you remove, the faster it dries.
7. Hang the garment so air can circulate inside and out for faster drying. Lay a towel beneath it or hang over a sink to catch any remaining water.

Allow the garment to completely air dry before using or storing it for the season. Gently tap the plugs to confirm they're dry, then enjoy your refreshed gear.

Gloves and 3.7V insoles must be hand washed — do not machine wash them.

1. Remove the battery and any detachable electronics — never machine wash batteries or accessories.
2. Tuck the plugs into their zippered pockets and close all zippers.
3. Turn the garment inside out and place it in a mesh laundry bag if you have one.
4. Use a gentle/delicate cycle with cold water and a small amount of mild detergent.
5. Do not iron, do not put in a dryer, and do not use a hair dryer or heat gun.
6. Reshape and lay flat or hang to air dry completely before reconnecting the battery, using, or storing.

1. Check for cracked or exposed wire on cabling and plugs. Do not cut or splice cable or plugs — doing so voids the warranty. Do not use petroleum-based products on plugs.
2. Check the interior of the plugs for wear, corrosion, and looseness.
3. Check the battery harness — the single most important piece in your gear. If you need a new harness, contact gerbing.com.

If you find plugs or cables that need attention, contact Heated Clothing Rx (HCRx): call 877-248-3080, visit heatedclothingrx.com, or email [email protected]. They'll inspect your gear, report back, and repair if approved.

1. Make sure garments are clean and completely dry, inside and out.
2. Inspect the cable and plugs, then tuck the plugs into their zippered pockets and close the zippers.
3. Check all pockets for items left behind and remove them.
4. Store in a dry, temperate closet — folded, laid flat, or hung on a hanger.

Never machine wash or submerge batteries, chargers, or accessories. Always remove them from the garment before washing. To clean, wipe the surface with a dry or lightly damp cloth only, and make sure all components are completely dry before reconnecting. Store batteries at least 25% charged in a dry, temperate place.

We recommend charging overnight for the first charge.

• Charge to 100% before use (a full charge takes about 3 hours).
• A red light appears on the wall charger while charging.
• The light turns green when fully charged.
• Maintain at least 25% power when the battery is not in use — this prolongs the life of any 7V battery.
