Went for a nice ride today, about 50 degrees. The only thing that gets cold on me is my fingers. Thinking of Gerbing heated glove liners. Will these hook up to my battery tender connection without blowing the fuse? Any input would be appreciated.
Anything is possible. The liners you speak of only draw 2.2A and could be wired to a plug that matches your tender plug, however the Gerbing system needs to be used with the Gerbing controller/regulater. That being said It is just a easy to hardwire the controller to the battery and you don't have to purchase a seperate plug the matches your tender. Also note Gerbing makes 7 volt product and only their 12 volt product can be hardwired. Here is a link to the instructions.
Cheers!
Thanks Chiefe. Seeing where you're located I'd think you could be a subject matter expert on these. I'll look into both systems for sure. Thanks again.
Gman, im in Charlotte and have the heated gloves. I used the kit to attach to the battery terminals. on the softail its even easier to get to the battery than my UC. I picked up an adapter with the same plug for the Tender from dealer, it was Gerbing item. However it does not work with the wires for the gloves or the on/off switch. Gerbing site doesnt show a item to make that connection on the web. Its an issue with the male/female plug on the end of each set of wires. Just run it off the battery to be safe. and yes you can have the tender and gerbing post connectors on at the same time on the battery terminals. Hope it helps.
