I've searched and read a couple threads here on heated gear--various brands of gloves, grips, etc.
I've used Gerbing heated gloves and jacket liner with their portable dual controller for years on a few bikes. Had a problem with my 2009 FZ6 after a couple straight days of use with temps in the 20s. And, I rarely used full power. I ran my battery down. I THEN got an ammeter and harness for a battery tender and didn't have an issue after plugging in the bike nightly.
I have a Kisan Chargeguard on my FZ09 but don't yet have the Gerbing harness-hard to think about in July in Texas.
Does anyone know whether the FZ09 charging system on my otherwise stock bike would have an issue with daily use of the gloves/jacket liner? I don't know amp draw without looking it up, but I wouldn't use full draw probably. My Chargeguard will show me negative amp draw once I connect the Gerbings and fire them up.
I'm actually considering selling my 2013 FJR since the FZ09 will do it for me, but really need to be sure I can have some heat a few days per winter here in Fort Worth.
I would appreciate anyone running these or similar to share their experience and any electrical issues.
