Thanks, Amy. It’s good to know your health issues are on the upswing and you’ll be able to get out more this year. I’m with you on the warmer weather wishes.

Amy is your vest a 7 V or 12 V system?

Gerbing has spare batteries for sale on their website. Both 7 and 12 V are available.

Like you, I have been using Gerbing heated products for years. I had the whole 12 V kit, gloves or liners, long sleeve shirt and pants (OH boy do they not fit any more!).? I have had them so long they now have digital controls for heat regulation. Used to wear them when I rode motorcycles.? Then, I took a big deep cycle marine battery up to Arunah Hill for a work day in the snow. At night 3 of us were with our scopes and I had to drag that BA deep cycle battery over to the other scopes for a look.

Last time I did that!? Now they offer a 9000 Mah 12VDC battery and a decent number of 7V batteries.?

I like the heated socks but without the pants it's hard to connect. I opted for the 4 AA electric socks. They work great in my Sorel boots.? I have the 3V shoe or boot liners and really don't recommend them. The batteries come apart easily and then won't charge..AA batteries are OK but a full suit with interconnects is much better.?

I had my old non-digital heat controller and they offered to swap it out with a plug change.?

I imagine you asked, but if not, they may make a plug that will retrofit the old plug to fit the new battery.?

The old Gerbing would do so.
