What to look for
1. Capacity and hours of heat
According to the product titles, the 10,000 mAh gives 3 to 6 hours of heat and the 20,000 mAh gives 6 to 12 hours. Where you land in that range depends on the heat setting. There is more detail on our page how long the battery in heated clothing lasts.
2. Weight and size
The 10,000 mAh weighs 150 g and measures 90.6 × 63.6 × 22.3 mm, so it disappears into an inside pocket. The 20,000 mAh weighs 350 g and measures 140 × 72 × 27 mm. On a bike in a headwind, light matters; standing still for hours, run time matters more.
3. Is it the right type?
Not every power bank is suitable. Gløde also sells fast-charging power banks that the product page says are explicitly not intended for Gløde heated clothing. For your jacket or gilet, pick the model with "hours of heat" in the name.
4. Ports
The 20,000 mAh has two USB outputs and a USB-C output (5 V / 2.1 A, max. 18 W), handy if you also want to top up your phone.
5. Gloves use their own batteries
Heated gloves usually run on small batteries in the cuff rather than a power bank. A spare set such as the 3,000 mAh batteries stretches your day. Check your glove's product page to confirm compatibility. See also our heated gloves buying guide.
6. Spares and support

The power banks reviewed
Gløde 20,000 mAh power bank: best for long days
The 20,000 mAh power bank is our top pick because it gives you the most headroom: 6 to 12 hours of heat according to the product title. If you leave for site at dawn and get home after dark, you will not need to swap halfway. Downside: at 350 g it is noticeably heavier.
Gløde 10,000 mAh power bank: light and compact
The 10,000 mAh power bank is the everyday choice for commuting, walking the dog or a pint in a beer garden on a chilly evening. At 150 g you barely notice it. Plenty of customers carry a second one as a spare. Downside: it is too small for a full working day on high.
Gløde heated glove batteries, pack of 2
Two 3,000 mAh batteries, charged with a USB-C cable. Useful as a swap set: one pair charges while you use the other. Stock is limited, so check availability on the product page.
Gløde fast-charging power banks, 10,000 and 20,000 mAh
Cheaper and compact, but according to the product page not intended for Gløde heated clothing. Fine for your phone, not for your gilet. We list them so you do not buy the wrong one by mistake.
Lenz Lithium Packs rcB 1200 and rcB 2000
Austrian brand Lenz sells its gloves, socks and vests without a battery. The rcB 1200 (€179.95, price November 2026) runs up to 7.5 hours in a glove and up to 14 hours in a sock on level 1, according to Lenz. The rcB 2000 (€219.95 per pair, price November 2026) runs up to 12 and 23 hours but was sold out on our reference date. Plus: long run times. Minus: the battery comes on top of the garment price and only fits Lenz products.
Bertschat 12V Akku UltraBoost
Bertschat sells a 12 V battery for its PRO jackets at €69.95 (price November 2026). We found no run time. It is designed for Bertschat's own jackets rather than as a universal power bank.
Who is it for?
- Tradespeople and outdoor workers out in the wet and wind all day: 20,000 mAh.
- Commuters on foot, bike or platform: 10,000 mAh in an inside pocket.
- Parents on the sideline at Saturday morning football: either size, depending on how long the match runs.
- Anyone heating their own coat with the Øney universal jacket heater (power bank included) who wants a spare. See our guide to heating your own jacket.
- Heated gilet owners: read our heated gilet buying guide.
FAQ
Can I use any power bank with my heated jacket?
For Gløde clothing, use the Gløde power banks for heated clothing. The fast-charging models are not intended for it, according to the product page.
How many hours of heat will I really get?
According to the product titles, 3 to 6 hours (10,000 mAh) or 6 to 12 hours (20,000 mAh), depending on the setting. On a raw, windy day you will probably run a higher setting.
Can I take a power bank on a flight?
Power banks normally go in hand luggage. Your airline sets the exact rules, so check with them before you fly.
Do I remove the power bank before washing?
Yes. Take out the power bank and heating elements before washing the garment.
What if the power bank stops working?
You have a 2-year warranty and European customer service. See repair and warranty.
Verdict
For most people the 10,000 mAh is the most practical everyday power bank, and the 20,000 mAh is the best choice for long days outdoors. For gloves, get a spare set of batteries. Make sure you do not buy a fast-charging model for your heated clothing. With Gløde you get a 2-year warranty, a 30-day money-back trial and delivery in 1 to 3 days. Shop all power banks for heated clothing.
