Heated Glove Help
I need t ask this question before I go nuts...
I have a new pair of venture heat gloves http://www.ventureheat.com/power-spo...ng-gloves.html
I have it connected to the battery and when the bike is running they turn on and heat up well. When I start the bike they wont turn on, or if they do its only for a second.
Anybody experience this before on any heated gloves?

I use Gerbing myself, but they all heat up on 12 volts. I hook my controller directly to the battery. You just have to remember to turn them off. But loosing power after the bike starts, I've never heard of that. Check your power source with a volt meter, before and after starting.

Heated Gloves
My instructions said not to turn my heated gear on until after the bike was started.
On my Road Glide, I bought a cigarette lighter plug in to power my heated gear. It makes setting up the controller a lot easier. When the plug in arrived, I was surprised it had a off/on switch. Hook it all up, start the bike, turn it on.

I tried that,
Started the bike, plugged in the gloves, lights come on and go out.
Shut the bike off, plug in the gloved and lights come on and stay on and they heat up fine?
I am perplexed.

what voltage did you get with the bike running? maybe too high and some safety switch on the glove controller cuts out?

The voltage is 12.7v when not running and 14.4v when running at idle, must be a protection circuit
I will call the company to ask why they would have it in this range..
Maybe I will make a regulator to keep it at 12.5v
I knew I wasn't crazy
