I was checking out heated gear. Looks like for pants, jacket liner, gloves and socks it uses about 170 watts. The Gerbing site says to figure 300 watts for a fuel injection bike running lights and all so it only leaves 120 for running accessories. So based on that running full heated gear would be out or am I missing something?
Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if the load numbers listed were average or at max power. I will look into a voltage monitor.
Start with just a jacket liner and gloves. You'd be surprised how warm your extremities can be if you keep your core warm.

Yes you aren't far out. I have the full Warmnsafe stuff plus Honda heated grips. But as Beemerphile implies, it's unlikely you will ever run it at full whack, and the controllers these days are very efficient in that they pulse the power to reduce the heat. I invested in the dual controller because I generally want less juice going to the pants and socks. Also, you will find that in the depths of winter you will probably wear a good insulating jacket on top of the heated jacket liner. If this is primaloft or down, then again you will find that you turn the jacket down. My guess is that you will never use more than 100wattsI was checking out heated gear.
