bikelee Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Can I safely run a Gerbings microwire heated liner, gloves and heated socks without over taxing the electrical system ? Thanks !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 B-lee: what are the wattage ratings Gerbings lists for those items? My Gerbings gloves are 22 watts and the jacket: 77 watts. Too much for my Sport! I can run the jacket only on a thermostat (so it is not on constantly) as long as the revs are up and no stop-and-go traffic. I also start the day (if I'm going to run heated jacket) with a fully charged battery (from an overnight charger). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Sorry , buddy: I know you want to get some riding in: Simple answer: NO: not all three. If you mean by "heated liner": a vest liner under your jacket; or even a "jacket liner": good to go! Keep the revs up and charge the battery overnight, before and after. Helps to run a a "thermostat" or cycling device so the heated garment is not on full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moto fugazzi Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have a truckle LED headlight which draws about 20W instead of the stock headlights 55W. Every little bit helps, but it is a $200 headlight, and it doesn't fit in the stock V11 bucket, but I had one off of an old Yamaha laying around. My stock Bosch headlight lens was getting cloudy on the inside anyway. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
