Power source
12v Power
Our 12v products are designed to be powered by a 12VDC electrical system by a simple connection to the vehicle’s battery or through a 12-volt accessory outlet. A motorcycle, snowmobile, ATV, boat, automobile, golf cart or even an airplane can be used to power all or some of our heated products.
NOTE: WHEN POWERING YOUR HEATED CLOTHING THROUGH THE 12-VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE YOU SHOULD BE SURE THAT YOUR VEHICLE’S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD HANDLE THE ELECTRICAL DRAW. Click hereTO LEARN HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS THE ELECTRICAL OUTPUT TO POWER OUR CLOTHING.
7v Power
Our 7v products are designed to be powered by rechargeable lithium battery packs. These products are not designed to be powered by a 12-volt electrical system and allow you the freedom to stay warm almost anywhere.
12v Hybrid Power
Gerbing’s products that utilize the Hybrid Heating System allow you the option of obtaining your power through a rechargeable 12-volt battery pack or through a 12-volt electrical system.

The CORE HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM™ product line uses a combination of our patented Microwire™ or Nanowire™ heating technologies in conjunction with high powered, but small and lightweight microprocessor-managed 7v Lithium battery packs that are rechargeable for over 500 cycles. Gerbing's Core Heat series of heated products are designed to prevent the body's physiological response of vasoconstriction that occurs when colder temperatures are detected and the nervous system restricts blood flow to the extremities. The Core Heat Transfer System allows you to maintain blood flow and a constant level of thermal comfort preventing vasoconstriction.
Interconnected System
All of our 12v heated clothing products form a true interconnected system in which every item connects to everything else. You can wear a jacket, gloves, pants, and socks with only a single connection to your battery. For example, our gloves and socks plug into our three-prong connecting harness or directly into our pants or jacket.
