My snowblower has heated grips. Has anyone here tried heated grips? What sort of battery would you need for that?
I haven't been out with them yet, but the current draw is about the same as my other heated gloves set to high. So I'd say about 2.5 hours on 7.4v 1500 mah lipo pack, maybe around 4 hours on a 2 cell 18650 2600 mah pack.
The carbon rope material I used can get very toasty when using a 12 volt battery, 92 C at a length of 80 cm. The temperature varies with voltage, length and how much of the rope you use. The rope is made of 12 smaller ropes, so for my gloves I only used 2 of the 12 ropes in addition to the lower voltage.
