Power bank for heated clothing

If you are familiar with wearing electrically heated clothing, you know: without a good power bank you are nowhere. At Gløde – specialist in heated clothing and accessories – we understand this like no other. We have spent years studying the technology behind heat zones, power consumption and ultimate wearing comfort. Because what use is a jacket with built-in heating if the battery dies after an hour?

That's why we developed our own line of power banks, specifically tailored to heated clothing. And with an average customer rating of 4.9 out of 5, we're pretty proud of that. In this article, I'll explain exactly what a power bank for heated clothing does, why the compact models from Gløde are so popular, and how you know which power bank you need.

What is a power bank for heated clothing?

A power bank for heated clothing is not just a power bank that you also use for your phone. Of course, at first glance it seems the same: it is a portable battery that provides power. But its purpose is completely different.

Electrically heated clothing , such as our heated jackets , gloves or trousers , contain built-in heat zones. These zones require constant power with a specific voltage and output. This is where the power bank comes in.

What makes a heated clothing power bank different?

• Output : Many heated clothing works on 5V or even 7.4V. A standard power bank for your phone is not always powerful or stable enough.
• Safety : Overheating or voltage peaks can be harmful – our Gløde power banks are therefore equipped with overload protection.
• Connections : Some heated garments use special connections, such as a DC barrel plug, instead of just USB.

I once made the mistake of connecting a regular phone power bank to my heated jacket during a winter walk. After half an hour I was still freezing – the jacket simply did not get enough power. Since then I only use the right power banks. Saves a lot of frustration and cold toes.

Why choose a compact power bank?

One of the biggest advantages of Gløde power banks is their size. Heated clothing should be functional – not something you constantly think about or fiddle with.

These are the advantages of our compact models:

• Fits in an inside pocket or even a trouser pocket
• Light weight , so it doesn't hinder your movement during work or sports
• Simply charge via USB-C or the wall socket
• Strong and robust , resistant to outdoor use

I often carry the compact 10,000 mAh power bank while doing odd jobs in the shed or when I walk the dog in the winter. I put it in the special power bank pocket of my jacket, and I don't notice it for the rest of the day - except that I stay nice and warm.

Heated clothing without a power outlet – stay warm on the road

Heated clothing is ideal for situations where you don't have an electrical outlet nearby , such as:

• Long winter walks in nature
• Work in construction, transport or security
• Festivals or outdoor activities in the cold
• Motorcycling or cycling on cold days
• Winter sports or snowmobile tours

Our power banks keep you warm for hours. The actual usage time depends on the setting you set the heater to. With average use, a 10,000 mAh power bank will keep you warm for about 4 to 6 hours . And is it empty? Then you can simply charge it again at night, so that you can go out again the next morning.

Which power bank do you need?

Choosing the right power bank depends on your garment and how long you need heat. Here are some handy tips:

Pay attention to the capacity (mAh)

• 10,000 mAh : perfect all-rounder for everyday use (4-6 hours)
• 20,000 mAh : for long-term use or extremely cold days (6-10 hours)

Check the voltage and output

• Most of our garments operate on 5V/2A – this is the standard for many heated jackets and trousers.
• Some products, such as heated gloves with batteries , use 7.4V lithium batteries . These therefore have a different connection and are not compatible with power banks.

Compatibility

Always pay attention to the connection. Our power banks are fully compatible with all Gløde heated clothing . Are you in doubt? Feel free to contact us via chat or email - we are happy to help you.
